Another one... captured in the middle of opening the bays.

According to an interview with the 14th Institute, J-20 and J-16 already use the three-array AESA configuration seen on the latest variant of KLJ-7A!

To be honest I'm a bit skeptical, since it was always claimed that the J-20 and J-16 uses a much larger radar than the KLJ-7A and that the J-16's radar is from the competing CETC / 607th institute.

The article claimed that J-20 and J-16 are equipped with "three panel configuration" same as KLJ-7A, but not KLJ-7A itself.

The question is which panel or where on J-20 and J-16 are the side looking arrays.

Smaller missiles.
Either half length or narrower body.
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of carrying vlraam?
Considering j 20 is literally a brand new plane.. I'm sure they must've considered maximizing efficiency of bays in termsof loadout

The PL-15 is not a VLRAAM. China’s VLRAAM is a much longer missile that won’t fit into the J-20’s weapons bay.

The main problem with fitting 6 PL-15 isn’t the missile body diameter, but the fin diameter. That said, if an updated missile that could fit 6 involved some shrinkage of the missile body that shrinkage won’t be by much.
