I had posted the same question in the PLAAF section ... and IMO the question is: Is this the old JZY-01 testbed, now with eventually the outer wings and the radome removed or a new type? At least the open source GE version shows it on 12 December 2019 still complete.

Any idea in which corner this is is sitting?

It's still the JZY01 but not sure why radome was removed. Or it could be a KJ600 test frame that bears a striking resemblance to the JZY01.

Did YOu find it at the CFTE ... and why is the radome on 12.12 still attached?

I didn't find it. It was from that Japanese guy.

..with eventually the outer wings ..removed..

no the wings r folded along the fuselage.. Perhaps it's a COD variant.
