My guess, weapons bay.

Here's what I said
The fact that China has multiple airborne AESAs deployed and in service entails that J-20, an up and coming fighter aircraft with an AESA as a necessity will probably have AESA. TRUE
The fact that Russia has no airborne AESAs deployed and in service DOES NOT ENTAIL that PAK FA, an up and coming fighter aircraft with an AESA as a necessity will not have AESA. FALSE.The Zhuk AE is not deployed or in service by any stretch of imagination and the original comparison was with aircraft in production and in service.
You have yet to reply to the rest of my argument. But from here I do hope you will stop thinking it is necessary for China to have TVC or supercruise capable engines deployed and in service for J-20 to have them, at least.
GG.
if you and fulcrum are taking a philosophy course on critical thinking in university, i'd pass you and fail him. he needs more tutorial to understand "sufficient vs necessary"
Tbh most American analysts downplay Chinese advancements too, on a slightly less extravagant scale though compared with the Russians.
Asked for his professional opinion on China's J-20 stealth fighter unveiled in January, Pogosyan says: "You'd better ask the Chinese."
Pressed on whether he feels the aircraft is a genuine prototype or merely a technology demonstrator, he says: "China's aviation industry has achieved really significant progress. But on the other hand, to create a really competitive product is time-consuming, demands significant experience in the engineering field and experienced human resources."
Woah wait a second. What's that green thing in the inlet? Is that just a blocker?
