Potentially, potentially way more than that. No one told us target production.can we expect 40-50 J-35/J-35A this year ??

don't forget Shenyang new large production facility coming online this year. but yeah it depends on A variant which uses brand new and more advanced WS-19 Engine.Normally, you would expect ongoing LSP for such a fairly new aircraft. But this is China and there is a history of preparation for scale.
This is the mass production line for engines officially reported in 2021, now believe to be the WS-21 -- so anything is possible in China with 4 years time!
I think 40-50 might be too high, especially if the J-35A is using a different engine (WS-19.) Any number over 20 would be pretty good this early, IMHO.
Clearly the wings are foldable. But given there are so many photos on the internet already, why didn't we see any photos of J35A with folded wings?What is the original source of these images?

Slightly clearer cut-outs of the J-35 images released yesterday!
