J-20's main weapon bay has 6 weapon station, but it can only host 4 PL-15 long range (200KM+ effective range) air-to-air missiles````however, there is a new medium range missile that is under development, J-20's main weapon bay can host 6 of them (the new missile's performance is very much like the AIM-120D``)

regarding the new missile, it has already done extensive tests in wind tunel, new seeker, new multi pulse solid rocket engine and new body `````

PL-15 missile is a huge and long missile. It cannot fit into the weapon bay.

J-20 is as agile as J-10. The cockpit is very modern and is different from conventional cockpit of 4th or 4.5th gen cockpit.

....

Pardon, you mix it with the PL-XX, the one in the J-20's weapon bays is the PL-15 already.

So far we've only seen J-16 carrying the PL-XX (PL-21?), and since Yang Wei mentioned that "information" is one of the three J-20 attributes they can't demonstrate at an airshow, I wonder if J-20's role in AWAC/tanker interception is to provide guidance for PL-XX fired by the J-16.

I thought pl-15 was their aim-120D competition.
