How credible are these numbers? Who is the source?

I always believe J-16 should have the highest production number eventually, but the numbers above (56@2021 & total 298) blow my mind. The total SF production number in 2021 appears bit too high to be true (72 Flankers). Both Y-20 and Z-20 are higher than expected.

By the way, I have been projecting/speculating total 600 J-16/J-16D/J-15B/J-15D, and 300 J-20 by 2027.

IMO they look very much made up!

It is a vertical launch system for missiles. It is to be used on aircraft and can be launched vertically upwards or downwards. Type of missiles is not specified.

#4 in the diagram is flame exhaust.

The saw tooth opening of the system indicate that this design was made for stealth aircraft in mind. IMO, not necessary for a stealth fighter jet.
