Shaanxi KJ-500 ?
Is number "3" a Shaanxi KJ-500 ?
Based on the military transport aircraft Shaanxi Y-9, the Shaanxi KJ-500 has four WoJiang WJ-6C turboprop engines driving 6-bladed propellers.
Here we see only four-bladed propellers but the cockpit has the design of the Shaanxi Y-9 and no more the distinctive former Shaanxi Y-8's cockpit.
Maybe an early prototype because the design being frozen only in 2018.
mémo :
1 : Xian JH-7A ;
2 : Xian H-6K (or later variant) with the larger air intakes (re-engined with D-30KP turbofan);
