Yankee's claim that Chengfei Group's workers have been working overtime to the limit for the J-20 and are unable to continue to produce additional J-10s has been corroborated.
AVIC Group reported that AVIC Chengfei exceeded its fighter delivery plan in 2024

Looking at J-20 now actually has the same feeling as looking at J-10C now.A nice image to mark the first Monday of 2025.
And J-10C now feels like J-8 ?
I'm curious as to what this forum's opinion is about J-20's RCS compared to the F-22's. The consensus elsewhere online seem to be that while the J-20 has a smaller RCS than the su-57, it still has a (much) larger RCS than the F-22, and that the J-20's canards compromise its stealth. I know that canards compromising stealth in the general sense has been somewhat debunked, but the J-20's canards specifically do not sit in the same plane as the main wings unlike F-22's main wings and its elevators. The J-20 also has 2 smaller wings at the very back that point down.
You are trying to compare two unknown values to each other, and not just unknown but actively suppressed by the air forces in question. The consensus of garbage is garbage. Nobody who says anything about this in the public space is credible—the opposite, in fact, as claims made about knowing the unknowable actively discredit you.
What you can say is that the two platform fulfill similar roles as air superiority VLO fighters. That's about it.
You also need to factor in the extraordinary amount of salty tears and copium production that any Chinese advance causes bloated, bloviating MAGA hatted retards.
RCS for a model isn’t even fixed tbh. Outside of basic shaping materials both structural and appliqué are constantly advancing. J-20s today supposedly have much better RCS than when it just entered production, and the J-20B is supposed to have improved RCS further.
