Otter claims that J-6 suicide drones have been retired.

amazing, if they actually get replaced by GJ-11, then the long period of testing and evaluation has finally completed in the drone test ranges. Or at least they've reached a certain threshold

I guess it does make sense since Type 076 should join service over the next year and we'd expect GJ-21 to join service sometime after that. GJ-11 would need to be in service before then.

Maybe that is what it carries in the weapons bay.

Definitely a self-propelled object, possibly an EW or a decoy of some sort.

Another image showing the same UAV/UCAV (?) from behind.

Star Systems UAV Co. Star Glory SG-1 and Star Shadow SS-1 UAV projects come to mind at once.
