Would you please be so kind and reply to this post? https://pdf.defence.pk/threads/chengdu-j-20-5th-generation-aircraft-news-discussions.111471/page-977#post-14618630 I know we don’t have always the same opinion but it is always most interesting and inspiring to discuss with you.

Yes there is something available … for the side I need to look (PS/edit ... got it)

Well, the point is, this number is constantly raising within the remaining years from 2 to 4 and now even six with almost unbelievable yearly rates. This all might indeed be true, but you all forget one important argument: Where are all these J-20s? the more J-20s operational, the more units...

Well, I know such claims since months and even if recent information - in fact only hints of it - based on construction numbers, so far we have NO PROOF at all for this. In fact neither the number of J-20s seen at CAC on satellite images and especially not the number of units fit. About 200 is...

Indeed, some really "bizarre claims" so that given his/her overall reputation I think this was most likely intentional.

The headline says all ..

In fact based on the numbers of confirmed individual serial numbers, NO! As per my list I have altogether confirmed 65 confirmed individual J-20. Based on a good portion of gut-feeling and calculating always the highest number known within each known unit I come to maybe 188 operational J-20s...

Here seen again ...

This J-20 assigned to a "brigade of the Southern Air Force" seems to be serial no. 6126x (x = maybe 2 or 3) ... so at least besides the known numbers 61160, 61165 & 61168, this is a new one from the rarely seen 5th Air Brigade at Guilin and also the one with the highest number.

For the first time no. 37!

I must admit I don't know and in principle, @messiach surely knows much more than me. However in recent years his/her posts have become much rarer and even more less substantial. I remember the final controversial dispute I remember were claims, the JF-17C Block 3 would have a totally new wing...

Thanks a lot for this very detailed reply! :smitten: By the way, when will we see the first Mark.2 prototype under construction for the first time?

From my understanding there is still no J-10D and these are called J-10CY similar to the former J-10AY flown by the "Ba Yi"!

Don‘t we already have a separate dedicated thread on the TEDBF and even more, can anyone explain to me what‘s its current status is: A fully sanctioned and founded project like the Tejas Mk, 2 and the AMCA or an internet study for? Thanks

Here even better ...

So much on successful Russian operations …

Calm down and none of your claims is based on facts: - the PLAAF will IMO unlikely be able to field 1000 J-20s and such a huge force even more makes no sense at all - which countries "don't want J-35, and still waiting for J-20"? Officially the J-20 is NOT FOR SALE and regardless which...

Yes Looks like these two parts!

What are these two "things"?
