Three more. The last one was recently posted, but that was a smaller version...
(2048 x 1363)
(2000 x 1333)
(1500 x 750)
While I like all three, the bottom high contrast of the top surfaces is a very neat picture, and shows the airframe in stark relief against that verdant green backdrop, a beautiful action photo, the wing tip vortices show lots of action!
does anyone have any info how many J-20 does China have?
You should look through the thread. There has been a very active discussion of just this recently. 18+ production models is the minimum so far.
No, the minimum is 11. We suspect there’s over 20 but have no confirmation of that fact yet.
Yep!
You must be referring to the greater level of detail on the surface? This manufacturing is the most difficult part of fielding a stealthy plane. Sukhoi has not done this yet for the Su-57. It can't be done for those other fighters because it is probably quite a lot more expensive, time consuming, and requiring specific machinery, skills, and processes. Would PLAAF be happy with cutting J-10 and J-11 production rate by three or four times? No sometimes numbers are required to balance things and the optimal number of VLO is required.
