is it just me, or are there no visible horizontal or vertical stabilizers?

granted, the vert might be inside the plane, but i don't see any wings either.

(maybe it's an air launched SRBM/ASAT? %-)

It looks like the wings start just ahead of the mother ship's landing gear
and get lost in the clutter. The vertical stabilizer probably extends up
into the bomb bay.

One Large Vert Stab...

Judging by the size, doesn't seem very practical. In fact its a bunch
smaller than an X-15. Likely just an orbital test vehicle, robotic
and drone like.

At this rate they may have the chinese version of the Six Million
Dollar Man on TV in say 5 years...
