how about large enough for the most advanded radar each countries can field
and please tone down the sarcasm, anyone is free to talk about J-20 measures as long as its a fruitful discussion, and remains pertinent
J-20's length is an important variable, and it is nice to see most people now can agree to a certain number, until proven otherwise by official PLA released information which noone knows when (if ever) will be released
J-20 is just another aircraft (taking flaks
), a very interesting one that is, but it is not some holy object one must not speak/speculate of, to insist otherwise is just as bad, be reasonable

I don't think any of us knows... its paint scheme makes it hard to tell panel lines.
And the size of the radome doesn't necessarily correlate to the size of the actual radar, I believe.
it does correlate to some degree, but without the panel lines, we just cant estimate, i remember some people saying, when early pictures came out, that the radar is going to be huuuge
Yes, and it probably will be if they used up all its space.
And no it doesn't always correlate because some aircraft's radars do not/barely use all the room the radome gives.

compared to
Su-34:
Actually I would be much more carefully esp. since the latest J-20 full-AB. I agree with You in regard to the overal "external" appearance but with now the inner structure visible for the first time I'm no longer sure anymore ... actually I think the details are more like an AL_31F-version.
If You look closely the WS-10A has a completely different set of flameholders with a different number of "damn, how do You call these things !?" ... and even if the Su-27 AB-photo is surely not the best they seem (at least IMO) much more comparable than to the WS-10.
