Opening a new pulse production/assembly line?

Opening a new pulse production/assembly line?

Exactly my thought too! Maybe they could ask the guys at XAC, as far as I know, both the Y-20 and - no sure if already active - the JH-7A was manufactured on a pulsed line. ... and the guys at SAC should go with them and learn too.

The production rate in general is IMO much too low in comparison to what could and maybe should be done. 3.33 J-10 per month is simply too few and I can't think that the current rate of J-20s is higher. I won't even speak about SAC and their Flankers ... seems as if they are more or less made on demand in small batches only.
