That's what it looks like to me. The engine rotates, and takes the airplane in whatever direction it's facing. Could've sworn I've seen something like this before, but I don't recall the name.

Haven't really looked into this kind of configuration yet, but the transition seems like a mess to me...

There's a video of this flying. I've only seen captured image. If anyone has seen this video please post a link.

Chinese media confirming (with a video) operational use of armed drones during recent SCO drills. From this and other sources, I have not been able to determine which exact model is being employed.

I think it's a predator similar class drone.

It may be the CH-4.

"The CH-4, with takeoff weight of 1,330 kilograms and payload of 350 kilograms, is a multirole platform capable of carrying two bombs and two laser-guided bombs. It has a 40-hour endurance time. The weapons discernible on display were the AR-1 short-range, laser-guided air-to-ground bomb, and the FT-5 precision-guided "small diameter bomb" outfitted with a semi-active laser seeker for terminal guidance."
