Is it big enough for two PL-10s per side?
@Strangelove bro look at the side weapon bay, it's large enough to hold 2 SRAAM on each bay.
Please don‘t base your guesses purely on wishful thinking! As such, care to to explain how two shall fit?

So far as I know, each side bay only carries one SRAAM.@Strangelove bro look at the side weapon bay, it's large enough to hold 2 SRAAM on each bay.
The pilot takes care not to touch the aircraft's surface when exiting the plane.
So "myself (alone) taking four UCAVs to combat" seems to suggest a single seater J-20 is UCAV command capable and integrated with what we're supposing the J-20S is supposed to do. Perhaps it's just his choice of words but maybe the J-20S has a greater capacity for this role but the J-20 has been capable of flying with loyal wingman UCAVs.
As with everything with China's military, they say it long after it's been done and become a mainstay for things as important and sensitive as this. China performs hundreds of HGV flights, China only talks about a handful. China flies J-20 with Dark Sword since 2019, China only hints this is a thing in a short video in 2021? Who knows. We have been given visual hints for some time that J-20 flies with and commands Dark Sword UCAVs.

Really? when
I don’t remember seeing any images or reading any hints that the Dark Sword flew its maiden flight, much less integrate with the J-20.
