Breaking News: US Delivers First F-16V Fighter Jet to Taiwan to Boost Air Defense Against China Threats

[Vox Non Dei]

J-20 is old news. New news is J-50 and J-36.

Neither of them are ready.

Neither of them are ready.

True, but they are in the pipeline and close to serial production. Time does not stand still. Always look one step ahead.

J-35 phases out J-10C. It is a smaller size class compared to J-20. J-20 phased out J-11 / 16.

J10C is not going anywhere soon because it's brand new jet, maybe J35 are is for replacing older j10A and S and J-16 is also not going anywhere because it's also brand new jet might replacing J11/Su-35 and old Su-27

China got enough money to retire all J-10C by 2040. J-35 is better.

Lol its all about economics whether you trillions of extra $$$ you can't able to replace all your previous gen jets on one on one basis, and J35 is several times more powerful than J10 so no need to replace J10 with J35 one on one basis, same goes to J20 which is intended to replace J11/Su-35/Su-27 no need to replace them with J20 on one on one basis

If retire your previous jets prematurely so you wasted lots of resources to design and develop these previous gen jets

J-35 has the same role as J-10C. No need for J-10C. J-35 is better.

Lol but more expensive to maintain/operate and higher price tag than J10C

You're needed fewer J35 to replace J10, you have a 600 J10 of all kind, you need to have 350-400 J35 to replace all kind of J10

PLAAF is not stupid like you to throw away brand new 4.5th jet for super expensive/more maintenance-prone/ more expensive to operate per hour sorties compare to J35, so J10C is not going anywhere anytime soon for at least I don't see J10C will retire no sooner than 2045-2050 time frame (30 year of service life of its air-frame)

 

[52051]

J35 is coming for PLAAF starting from this year with much cheaper price tag and will have 90 to 95% capable as of J20 so why PLAAF needs 800+ J20? Please explain? You're just assuming baseless lol

The production line of J-20 now is 100+/year, so according to you, the production of J-20 will end this year or the mid of next year.

Now you can stop wasting my time.

J-20 production will need to surpass 500 to phase out J-11 / 16.

Dude J20 is several times more powerful than J11 series of jets no need to replace J11 series with J20 on one on one basis, 100+/year maybe to achieve 400-450 jets as quickly as possible
