That does not work, at least not for the PL-15, which is simply too long .... that was discussed already ad nauseum.

seems like there's space to me, but even if there isnt foldable wings is not an hard to do

No there is not. Please, no eyeballing estimations and "I think so" ... go and search out for decent images and there are many, cut out a PL-15 and try to place it in front of the other two just so that the fins don't touch. It's impossible.

Weapons bay extension requires redesigning of the entire aircraft.
It's easier to design New missiles.

Didn't we just have a 10+ page discussion in J-20's belly bay capacity less than two weeks ago?

Do we want another 10+ page on the same topic so soon?

I'm not against it, but I can see a separate thread for this perhaps?

@Deino

Anyway, I bring you high-resolution photos...

Detonation cord to explode the canopy during ejection.

Some fighters don't have that. It depends on the Ejection seat. Some have a system to break the canopy away others like this have the cord system to blow an opening.

They did it to reduce weight on the J-20 and F-35.
