I have no idea how they'll integrate 2 extra missiles in that bay.. Is it limited to 4 missiles going by current missile inventory in plaaf(dimensions wise)?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!
The article claimed that J-20 and J-16 are equipped with "three panel configuration" same as KLJ-7A, but not KLJ-7A itself.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.
Smaller missiles.I have no idea how they'll integrate 2 extra missiles in that bay.. Is it limited to 4 missiles going by current missile inventory in plaaf(dimensions wise)?
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.
Some very detailed high-resolution close-ups of J-20...
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of carrying vlraam?Smaller missiles.
Either half length or narrower body.
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.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
