Do you recognize any of these UAVs? Are they in development? Their missiles do exist, though. Also, do you know if the WZ-2000 or Soar Dragon UAV can carry any weapons? Thank you very much.

These are thought be designs for the international market. They were not selected by the Chinese military thus do not have the official PLA designations. Their future depends on any foreign order they would attract. The missile may be carried by the UCAV to enter the service with PLA though. As far as I know currently WZ2000 and Soar Eagle are recon UAVs not UCAVs so they are unarmed.

StrategyCenter said that the first UAV (the one in the blue poster) may be the first close air support UCAV for the PLA.
It carries the Norinco BA-7 missile which was developed for it.
And also, do you know if you can turn a UAV into a UCAV by mounting missile racks on it?
