This 2022 is said to have a hatch for gun, what do you think?

Let's admire the J-20 from the good looking perspective.

Looking into the future, will J-20 enter naval service? It's still not clear as of now.

Shown in AVIC official video, J-20 two seater is coming to town. Some said it's a multi-role variant, other said the back seater will fly the companion drones. Or maybe it's both, multi-role with the drones.

J-20, H-20, and companion drones are what we can expect to see in near future, i.e. before 2025. But somehow I doubt it'll be Dark Sword, as CAC seem to have its own drone.

Maybe this is the CAC's companion drone.

Did it take first flight today? I dunno.
