Almost definitely not.
Predator C has a MTOW of 8.255 tons, and it has an internal payload capacity of 1.6 tons and external payload capacity of 2.9 tons.
We don't know the MTOW of cloud shadow, but we know its total payload is 400kg.


13.5 tons is larger than the sort of male/hale uavs like reaper, global hawk etc, and is more closer to the weight of the 16.5 ton phantom ray ucav but still quite a bit smaller than the 20 ton x-47b.

13.5 tons is probably greater than the MTOW of the sharp sword that we currently know of as well.


Then the article is talking about a UAV being tested that we haven't seen yet.

They did a little bit of that in last Super Bowl LI when Lady Gaga was performing at the half time show. The drones were previous recording and than air live on t.v.

OT
A few weeks ago my drone got caught up in the middle of a huge swarm of bees.They virtually swamped it. The motors were scurnching up the bees like a blending machine. So I had to make an emergency landing. It was a pity my SD card was full otherwise I could have recorded it and posted it on You Tube. "Killer Bees down Drone"
Now I know what to do if I ever decide that I want a replacement drone, courtesy of my insurance company.
