probably not actuators, but a housing for some kind of RF antennae. The ventral fins are fixed

Are those missiles in the weapons bays PL-12 and PL-10 training missiles? Much appreciation if you can tell me.

Four PL15 and two PL10

This pic is super nice. The two small bulges on the ventral fin are actuators? if so they are used to move what exactly

This one is even better. Yes there is enough room for 6 missile in the belly providing they ave folding fin

There will be 6x new Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles in a J-20.

blue colour missiles are training missiles

as kurutoga wrote, they are PL-15s and PL-10s respectively.

And yes, they should be training missiles

what is the main reason to put 2x PL-10 not inside the side bay ?

 

[Hyperwarp]

What is the estimated range of the PL-15? 200 km?

that's what's been thrown around before. With dual pulse motor as well, which should improve end game kinematics vs normal single pulse motor

In combat mode, the PL-10 can be raised outside temporarily (by a particularly designed missile mount) to reduce response time when it is actually fired, and maintain the integrity of flight surface at all times. This is supposed to be one of the visible innovations of J-20.
