There are hardpoints under the wing and there is a picture on CJDBY pointing them out (not easy to see). Pretty sure that J-20 will support air-to-surface weapons or fuel-tanks. Only if I could find the picture again...

Maybe here ??? ... even if they are located quite a bit close together IMO. :confused:

Could it be that '2012' has been transferred to Yanliang ??? :confused:

... and even if I'm not sure it sounds like additional rumors about a possible '2013' unveiling soon (again similar to the appearance of '2012' about a month after '2011' has left to YL)).

So let's wait and hope ...

Yes, I believe you are right, and for discussion the nozzles of the port and starboard engines are very uniform in these two pictures appearing to have identical Nozzle diameters????

Actually we have mainly information for its AA weapons in its 3 weapons bays : 2 IR AAM and 4/6 LR.

The main weapons bays ( as others ) have a same design as the F-22 which can carry bombs max 454 kg, F-35A/C 907 kk seems more high/deep ( B only 454 kg less long weapons bay ) T-50 better about 4/6 of 1000 or more ? kg or air to ground missiles.

I have seen many drawings to calculate the number of AA missiles that the J-20 could carry in the main weapons bay but no for air to ground weapons, exist and what feeling eventually ?

I think it depends on the type of air to ground weapon. Cruise missiles/bunker busting bombs, probably not. Small diameter bombs? Maybe.

Makes sense ... but so this is at least the first confirmed image of _ I think 2011 - at the CFTE and confirmation that the KJ-500 prototype has now the number '731' (... however is this serial not already used by the Y-8GX-6 ASW :confused: ??!!)

Yeah.. I did remember the Y-8GX-6 ASW with number 731. But this pic of KJ-500 is kind of too fuzzy to tell if the last digit is actually 1 or 2 though.
