I think we can all wish SAC or CAC to do delivery videos like some russian companies do, just to keep us nerds on our toes and not getting bored.

can we expect 40-50 J-35/J-35A this year ??

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.

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.

WS-21 is a mature machine and already under volume production.

Hi,
it all depend On the deployment of Fujian, coz these particular J35a will be deployed on the
Fujian so even a production of 25/30 for this year might be sufficient till Fujian pushed for full
depl in coming year or two ?
thank you
