Thanks for this graphic! So roughly 1000 fighter aircraft in ~10 years. Do we have a similar graphic for the US Armed Forces?
There is some discussion these are not Y-20Bs but just regular ones with the engine cowlings open!
That is my belief as well.
They are Y-20As with their D-30/WS-18 engine nacelle cowlings open.
Golden helmet pilot tells a story about an aerial combat exercise where the blue force had 5 J-10Cs and 1 J11B and his side only have two J-10Cs and two J-11Bs. Despite being at a disadvantage in terms of both aircraft quantity and quality, his team prevailed by downing five of six "enemy" jets.
One reason for the blue side's downfall appears to be that they vastly underestimated their opponent and flew too close to the red side. This probably negated J-10C's BVR advantage.

China go. A lot asortments, old and new!
I find 20 H-6s there. 18 in the west end parking yard and 2 in the east.
And the carrier-borne AEW planes are KJ-600s.

Are these H-6s all recent news builds?
