This article from 2017 was posted on Chinese forums as possibly related. Apparently its about rocket powered UAVs, and says prior to the paper being published, the rocket drone had been tested (or experimentally performed) 18 times. With no power system failure, and only one camera failure occurred. 


The mission profile is launch from a carrier aircraft (e.g. H-6), rocket power climb, level flight, rocket burned out and gliding back.  The rocket working time 35 minutes, the total flight time is one hour and 30 minutes, the working height is "near space". The aircraft is reusable but the rocket engine not.


There's separate evidence of a nose cone looking like the nose of this previously displayed, apparently designed for temperatures approx Mach 3.0.
