But before that happens, let me just say that any sort of number predictions are mostly futile. Not only do we not know the plans for J20 procurement over the next 5 to 10 years, at which pace would those planes be put into service, but it's impossible to predict what kind of allies might US have, which bases it might have access to, and thus how many US 5th gen fighters might get fielded. So we can't really carefully consider their number, we can only guess. Saying 20 J20s are added per year, to a total of some 260 in 2030 is a guess. Same with 400 J20. One of many possible guesses. Saying there'd be 500 F22/f35 fielded would also be just a guess. Certainly, there'd be something like 1500 f22/f35 by then in US inventory. Whether they'd have enough bases to place a third or two third of that number is another thing.
Then one could also talk about just how much do those deployed figures matter? So maybe US indeed will be limited to 1000 fighters at once. As it loses planes, possibly at a not-so-favorable loss ratio as the opponent may have more, further 5th gen fighters might take their place. While the opponent lacks not only 5th gen fighters to replace them but possibly also has an ever dwindling number of overall planes left. Say, the conflict starts off with 2000 chinese vs 1000 us planes. US loses 500, china loses 500. But China is left with 1500, while US replenishes their bases and is again at 1000. Rinse and repeat. Until China is down to 500, while US is at 1000 deployed and another 500-1000 in store. This is a gross simplification, but it illustrates the point.
