I thought it was supposed to be invisible. So disappointed
Is the narwhal spike thing a radar reflector or some sort to fuck up its real radar signature?
A large orange air data probe has also been installed on the side of the nose landing gear.

I assume it's only for testing purposes.
Your article confirms your assumption :)
"The air data probe and trailing cone are mounted on the prototype aircraft as part of flight testing and will not be present on production variants "
