Why on earth would anyone use anything but the most efficient shape for their weapons system? It doesn't matter if 0 or 1000 nations or manufacturers use the same shape - if its good, if its the best there is, that's the shape and general design that's gonna be used.

A: "So, we need a launcher for this new missile. Let's do a study on historical solutions, the goals they traded-off, the costs and advantages of different concepts..."
B" "Why bother? Such a research project will tie up half a dozen researchers and engineers for months. Zhuhai is in november! Just copy the RAM launcher, they probably did a study and if it is good enough for the USN, it's good enough for our export customers. They won't care that much anyway."

the attack drone unlike predator lack SATCOM,this means that ground control station has to be field right in the battlefield.this mean range may be shorter than predator.other problem was her fix landing gear.this could create obstraction to the camera.
I might not be surprise a follow up version may be in the drawing board.
few years ago, Sukhoi bureau come up with several UAV,the design very similiar to Predator ,according to janes,the sukhoi is offering the UAV to China.but no reply from the chinese side nor from sukhoi

There isn't any universal "Most efficient" shape, it's not like there is airodynamic to be considered of like an aircraft, here it's plain brain lazyness.
No such a thing as "the best there is", there is ALWAYs a better sollution or otherwise science would never advance. If you are always content with just copying the "good" known sollution, then according to that kind of logic you will ALWAYS be a copycat and never catch up, ever.
if they can get something as reliable as RAM, I think all of us here would be leaping for joy
not even sure if this is going on any Chinese ships, since they seem to be going in the direction of 76 mm + 30 mm for CIWS.

Any specs on C-705 ?, looks extremely interesting
