Suspected to be carrying PL-17 externally.

but shouldn‘t the PL-17 be even longer?

We are deprived of so many pixels here that it's probably easier to not try and speculate (for all we know it could be just two EFTs, or external PL-15s or what not), unless there are reliable eye witnesses saying that it is definitely PL-17

I highly doubt it to be external fuel tanks given how narrow what its' carrying is, could just be PL-15 or maybe highly anticipated PL-21.



Excuse the poor illustration (and possible scaling errors) but it could most likely fit within the IWB of J-20 so yeah I believe its more likely PL-15 or 21 rather than PL-17

Possible that it is just the weapon pylon as well.

Hows the WS15 coming along?

Heard so much about it last year I thought we'd be seeing widespread adoption in J20 by now. But seems to be a bi lt quiet recently
