during the 2009 military parade, most of AFV seen in the parade were all painted with IR and radar absorption paint.although it do not mention which band of RF the paint were design to target,likely MMW band.
already the russian T-90S exported to india are painted with both IR and radar suprression paint design to defeat MMW guide anti tank missile and surveillance radar.

speaking of F-117 ,during the early 2000, interest article concerning F-117 RAM material, according to chinese engineer claim that the RAM found in F-117 belong to first generation.
AVIC has not problem with RAM material and technology,big problem still the engine.

Lets discus on the weapons which will most likely be deployed on the J-20

PL21 - no link

So the weapons are just a possible setup, any experts here have there views?

I believe it should be designed with the WVR PL-10 in mind (on wikipedia it's listed as a MRAAM?). All variants of the PL-12 should definitely be available, but the PL-12C (which has the foldable wings) will allow an extra two to be put in just like how the F-22 can carry six AIM-120Cs but only 4 AIM-120As.

PL-21, PL-12D and other such MRAAMs and LRAAMs should be compatible. In terms of A2G, all LS-6 variants and FT series bombs should be compatible. FT-5 and LS-6 100kg and 50kg SD bombs will probably be the primary strike weapons.

To be fair the J-20's capabilities sound accurate to an extent. I can't believe their "J-20B" is listed as a twin seater though...

If they develop a strike fighter variant then two seater should be the way to go. F-15E and Su-30 both have weapons officers for a reason.

Yea -- but it'd be called J-20S or J-20BS, not J-20B. Ausairpower should be familiar enough with the PLAAF naming system to not make such a mistake.

This J-20 is the 2001 prototype while the F-22 opens its bay. For the J-20 cant see where its weapon bays are concealed. Could it be a prototype doesnt include a weapon bay?

Images not to scale...

Maybe, but there are thoughts the photos could be photoshopped -- regardless there'd be a weapon bay placeholder in the prototype and I wouldn't read too much into it. We can barely see the joints of the flaps on the wings, so the lack of weapon bay lines isn't too out of place.
Some pictures show a hint of possible weapon bays...

If those were true it would mean that Chinese technology is far more advanced than even us "fan boys" have imagined. Even on the F-22 you could easily discern the cracks where the weapons bays are... perhaps there are some truth, after all, to the rumor that the J-20's airframe is fashioned out of some sort of advanced composite radar absorbing material.
