Pakistan successfully tests indigenous drone Burraq and Barq laser guided missile

.
I don't think it can support more missiles. CH-3 also carries 2 missiles only. The payload limit (including EO turret) is too small for this category of UAVs.
Now we have the technology so increasing payload etc. shouldn't be a problem in future designs.
No it can't, because there is no SATCOM receiver on it.

So how does the operator controls the flight / acquisition and weapon release.

Why did you post this image? I hope you know it is not the Burraq or Barq. It is the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s new Guardian UAV with maritime radar.
No, i am an idiot who thought it was Burraq. I clearly did not see the huge *** American flag behind the drone, neither did i note the two whites and one black wearing American uniform.

To answer your question, i was comparing sizes. You should read previous comments to get the context of things.

Its not that easy, a new design (in the category of MQ-4 Reaper or CH-4) would have to be developed for that, which could provide SATCOM, higher altitude and more endurance etc.

Via the radio-link b/w the UCAV and Ground Control Station. The range of the UCAV is therefore limited, somewhere around 200-250 km.

I don't think there is much difference between CH-3 and Burraq. They are more or less same. That said Pakistani contribution was major and without it we don't know how far the drone would have gone.

Secondly, Pakistan is more in need of UCAV than China. China does not have an insurgency problem that needs UCAV. Their UCAV's will most likely have an anti-ship role.

Can we use UAV to relay and extend com and range.
