The drone is a delevopement of the Ryan Firebee family, AQM-34N, the mix up appears to stem from the fact that it was called the Type 147 by Ryan and looks quite different from the Vietnam era BQM-34A.

Very nice, but as the web page belongs to a fictional country it isn’t a definitive answer.
It certainly gives an example of what it might have looked like.
