Yes, if I'm not totally mistaken, it is not truly unexpected, since some time a prime candidate to become the first WTC brigade to gain the J-20A, but anyway a surprise, the 111th Air Brigade is based at Korla-Xinjiang (?).

Makes sense. They probably had some experience maintaining and operating them in 2020.

Those will be almost impossible to get.
Even if someone finds a promotional blurb about floor space area, or even if someone attempts to measure it from satellite images, far too many unknowns will remain, making direct comparison unwise.
How does one know what facilities are included in stated floor area? How much of production is done in house and how much outside?
What products are manufacturers doing? Some could be, for example, using part of their floor space to do parts for commercial airliners.
What's the efficiency of each plane maker? X area of production floor doesn't have to equate to same capacity.
Looking at the satellite imagery, it's again hard to assess just what building is part of each manufacturer and even harder to know what building does what - some could be for testing, some could be for other, non military products etc etc.

That said, while precise comparison is not really possible, one can still see that both SAC and CAC have increased their floor spaces immensely over time. But with all of the stuff said above - that's not precise enough to know if the production can be doubled or tripled or increased to any other precise figure.

i agree with you here. It is possible to estimate previous production capacity in retrospective, but I find it very difficult to estimate current or future production rate. Just trying to understand how you or Rick is making such

I think judging from appearance of J-20 in different region in short span we can expect number of J-20 skyrocketed past years. With recent news of moving J-10 production elsewhere we can expect higher production this year and on. I think 40-50 J-20 a year is completely reasonable by end of this year.

Just a nice screen capture for the weekend.
