J-35A fighter (PLAAF) + FC-31 thread

[00CuriousObserver]

By "mass production" do we have a rough guess of how many J-35As SAC would be able to crank out this year? 20? 30?

Ayi/Orca said the total number of PLA 5th gens produced "next year" would still be around the annual F35 production or slightly less

So total J20 + total J35 produced <= 156, next year

J-35/A has said to have entered serial/mass production.

Who is this? The doesn't necessarily mean a confirmation

Unless you are a gay pron enthusiast I don’t suggest you look into this.

Not really ... so I better stop here!

By the way ...

J-35/A has said to have entered serial/mass production.
...

Any hints about both variants to be in production or only the J-35A or no further info?

He's a very credible fellow. Close with Orca IIRC?

So total J20 + total J35 produced <= 156, next year

Expected. Even if J-20 production has been 100+ they're apparently slowing the production and switching to 20A this year.

Pictured is the J-35, but the 35A could also be in serial production. Nothing concrete though.

Interesting, since a friend I know from another forum told me so far only the PLAAF J-35A would be in production yet, the J-35 at best in LRIP.

Who knows, this is a "Just In!" news.

Can we please stop posting AI enhanced images? The point of images for this hobby is to be able to discern real features and AI actually gets in the way of that.

You know what? That's fair. The original image already faintly shows that the horizontal stabs extends to the wing, and it isn't exactly necessary to post the image.

it is not directly related with J-35 but it has indirect relation with this information..

Sun Cong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, also the chief designer of China’s J-15 carrier-borne fighter jet, said at a recent forum that he dreams of making aircraft like mobile phones.

China is basically defining the development process/cycle of Fighter jet. or aspiring to do this near future. this is Hugeeeeeee

So the designer is saying he is always thinking of releasing new models of planes, just like xiaomi is releasing many different models of smartphones at the same time?

So J-20 and J-20A combined production would be around 100 per year?
