Chinese UCAV/CCA/flying wing drones (ISR, A2A, A2G)

CH-7 planform but added vertical stabilisers which suggest either this is an old footage or another aircraft despite having basically the identical planform to the latest CH-7.
CH-7 has many peers made by various state and private players and many of them have flown as pure flying wings. I don't see how they would be willing to take a step backwards unless this is another aircraft/test platform.

Could potentially be a refueled variant where they can sacrifice stealth for greater stability.
Looks like I got it wrong. Might be temporary solution while they work through the kinks with flight control. The vertical slabs are fixed attachments and don’t have actuators for movement, which leads me to think that they are only there for stability reasons.
Then again it is also possible that they allow the rapid attachment and removal of vertical slabs based on mission profile. That would be a pretty novel approach.
What an impressive "bird" or should I better say "dragon"? ... by the way, can anyone see a serial number?
Dark Dragon is my pick. But damn... what a pretty bird.

Those are usually on the vertical slabs…
