China's AKF-98A, a stealthy missile or a glide bomb?

So then where is the air intake?
Some say it's similar to the US AGM-152C, where the air intake is underneath the folded wings

However, upon closer look, there doesn't seem to be an opening for the air intake
Plus the ridge at the root of the folding wings seem to be pretty high
This would obstruct the air flow into the air intake

Which means, the air intake is located on the underside of the missile
That cover looks to be removable
The bolt jutting out on a carefully designed stealth platform, means it should be removed before flight
So, the air intake should be underneath that cover
