You assume it was launched from the ground, both air and sea launches are quite possible too.

Also there is the Arctic you can take off and land on ice and use either an icebreaker or a sub for deployment and recovery.

China does have some advanced drones with a substantial range e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guizhou_WZ-7_Soaring_Dragon
