That's a mockup previously seen at various trade shows.
Looks like two GJ-11 ... but something is fishy?!!

PS: in fact spotted at a so far unknown base:
"Not far from the Zhonghua Shipyard on Changxing Island, a facility that looked like a drone base appeared. On a black parking pad, there were also two green GJ-11 like mockups. There was no runway , but were wide taxiways and apron-like areas on the ground."

The newly-built facility is located near the southeastern tip of Changxin Island at Shanghai. No runway is present, but there are wide taxiways and apron-like areas on the ground.
The dimension of the two UCAV mockups essentially matches that of the GJ-11, though the 125 meters long x 60 meters wide newly-laid pad where the two GJ-11 mockups are parked do not match the dimension of the 076 LHD.
Could it be a testing and training facility for handling U(C)AVs onboard the 076 LHDs and other CVs?

somewhat resembles the front left deck of 076, both have a 7-meter square thing.

Drones at work:
Speaking of which, a wealth of new information on that particular facility at Changxin has appeared.
All of the following information and are posted by @foolsball on Twitter.
Firstly, if the operating area of the new pad has been reduced somewhat by guess-working, this would result in a , which does look much closer to the 076's flight deck operating area.
Followed by the discovery of , which is supposedly taken after the latest updated satellite imagery on Google Earth, with the helicopter landing markings added on the ground similar to the ones on the 075 LHD's flight deck.

Finally, it has been discovered that the facility is actually the . Concrete work is the ship's magnetic control laboratory, the adaptability test laboratory and the intermodulation test laboratory.
(Note to mods: Perhaps this discussion should be moved to and continued at the Loyal Wingman UCAV thread or Navy-related thread instead?)
