I think we have seen this image in a smaller version already in December (second image), but now an ever clearer, larger version and a video was leaked showing a J-20 in "beast mode" carrying what appears to be 8x PL-15 (?) AAMs.
Unfortunately I cannot post the video!

No wonder it feels familiar... Oh wait, I was the guy who posted that smaller version in early-December XD
Either way, I suppose we have confirmation that this (J-20 in beast mode) is real.
A max loadout of 2x PL-10 SRAAM + 4x PL-15 LRAAM or 6x PL-XX MRAAM + 8x PL-17 XLRAAM should be possible - That's going to be one hell of a J-20.
Doubtful. 4x is more realistic though.
I saw the video and it is indeed real, but I cannot save and therefore post it!
Can you link the video?
Ah I see its a twitter direct message. Yeah that won't load for anyone else but you. Thank you anyways.
I get it looks cool, but we all know that in a real war stealth fighters won't be carrying a bunch of missiles externally. At least at the beginning.
And even in the later stages, they probably won't overdo it because of the penalty to range and maneuverability.
Take a video of your screen on your phone and post it on a hosting site?
