I know this is not something new to most of us, but the 4 hard points under the wing would be useful if stealth pylons and stealth fuel tanks and large size stealth missiles have been developed and acquired by PLAAF.A nice image to start off the week. Note this is a better version of a previously shared image.

Yes. In fact, at least one J-20 carrying 4 drop tanks underneath its wings have been spotted in 2016 and 2017.
The F-22 and F-35 also have 4 external hardpoints, and I expect the J-35/31 to have similar number of external hardpoints as well.

Yes, I knew about the old fuel tank photos, that's why I changed my wordings on previous post just a few minutes before your posts. But thanks anyway, good posting from you.
The 9th doing air combat training.
I wanted to thank all the forun members for the extraordinarily good photos posted in recent times, a truly impressive level of quality.
Impressive however is also the level of finish and design quite manic as a search for invisibility. For being the first Chinese project (with which to gain experience) I would say we are way ahead. My opinion is that in a hypothetical ranking (MARCUS
, if you send me the data I can prepare a nice infographic that I give to the forum) I was saying hypothetical ranking of radar discovery, the J-20 is not ranked bad at all. To cover with adhesive ram all rivets (see F-35) and panels can always be done, but it is difficult to manage from an operational point of view.
Again, thank you all.

The fit and finish has improved over the years. I think it will hit its stride in a couple years.I wanted to thank all the forun members for the extraordinarily good photos posted in recent times, a truly impressive level of quality.

It didn't already? It looks really good to me.
