I think those are not camo patterns but just jpeg compression artifacts. The original pictures taken by the satellite should not have them.

MUMT will become a definite part-and-parcel feature of aerial combat/warfare in the coming years.

judging by the last paragraph it appears that PLAAF is operating under the assumption of numerical advantage in UAV application. it should be a safe bet given China's manufacturing prowess and number of airports available vs the US which is limited in both in a westpac context.

That's just the assumption of this paper, it's a safe assumption but you can bet they're also studying counter enemy UCAV tactics given how much US is advertising it.

An interesting patent application from Shenyang on a UAV that uses auxiliary solid rockets to complement the main turbofan in certain scenarios to improve maneuverability and survivability, such firing the rocket motors to quickly recover airspeed after dodging incoming missiles.

Here's a CH-7 model from several years ago. Looks like there has been some changes to the overall airframe design. Posted by @沉默的山羊 on Weibo.
