@Deino @Michael how many j35 have been confirmed

@Deino @Michael how many j35 have been confirmed

Currently, I cannot provide accurate data. I can only guess. But that would be meaningless.

The J-35 series fighter jet is currently in the small-batch production phase and has not yet officially entered mass production. ------ The new pulsed production line is not yet fully operational. It may take another 1-2 years to reach its designed production capacity.

So sleek.

Is anyone keeping a track of serial numbers. What does 93 represent?

"93" is an abbreviation for the naval fighter aircraft's serial number.

The full serial number of the PLA Navy's fighter aircraft is quite long. For quick identification, the last two digits of the aircraft's full serial number are deliberately enlarged and printed on the nose of the aircraft.

If you need to record relevant information, you must record the complete serial number of the fighter jet. This is because abbreviated serial numbers may be repeated in different fighter squadrons.


"H1105080" is the complete serial number of this fighter jet; "80" is an abbreviation.

This is the designation for the J-15 carrier-based fighter jet. Its numbering system is the same as that of the J-35 naval version, both following the standard PLA Navy fighter aircraft numbering system.

I know you have a penchant for recording fighter jet serial numbers, so I deliberately searched for relevant information.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any official documents, only an unofficial one. It may not be entirely accurate, but it's for your reference only.

===========================

Rules for the tactical numbering system of PLA Navy aircraft.

H + 7 digits . "H 1234567" H1105080

H=PLA Navy
1st Digit = aircraft type
2nd-3rd Digit = Military unit code (Air force division / air force brigade / independent flight regiment)
4th Digit = Flying Squadron
5-7th Digit = Internal aircraft number

The last two digits of the complete tactical number are enlarged and printed in a prominent location for quick identification.

Detailed explanation of the meaning of "1st Digit":
1. Fixed-wing fighter aircraft
2. Fixed-wing early warning aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, large electronic warfare aircraft, etc. (Note: The term "large electronic warfare aircraft" here refers to aircraft based on a transport aircraft platform, not a fighter jet platform. The J-15DH/T belongs to the first category.)
3. Transport aircraft
4. Trainer aircraft
5. Helicopter
6. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)

I couldn't find a detailed explanation of "Military unit codes." You'll have to analyze it yourself. Maybe @Deino has done some research on this topic.

I wouldn't trust ChatGPT.

Last time I requested a such list on Pakistan's ballistic missile tests and it brought back different missiles being tested on the same date. Missile names were correct and number of tests were incorrect.

Does 80 means that there are 80 J-35 so far produced? I dont think that many has been produced in such a short time? @Deino

"350XX" is a factory test code, not a military tactical code.

Military tactical codes are only used when the fighter jet officially enters service with the PLA (including during the military's tactical testing phase).

Tracking factory test codes is pointless.

After factory testing is complete, some fighter jets are repainted with military tactical codes and delivered to the armed forces, others are used for defense education displays after confidential and important components are removed, and still others may be destroyed or dismantled and permanently disappear.

Does 80 means that there are 80 J-35 so far produced? I dont think that many has been produced in such a short time? @Deino

In the PLA's tactical coding system, the numbering is not strictly sequential.
The "80" designation for the J-35 is currently the lowest known code for the naval version of the J-35. It might represent the first J-35 for the PLA Navy, or it could have another meaning, but it certainly doesn't mean it's the 80th J-35.

A more widely accepted explanation is:
This year marks the 80th anniversary of China's victory in the War of Resistance against Japan. Therefore, the PLA Navy chose to start the commemorative numbering for the J-35 with the number "80," while the number "93" on the J-35 represents "September 3rd."

In fact I have not more but exactly the same understanding!

In fact this is BS, pure nonsense!

We all know the prototypes convert 350X aka 3500X and confirmed are the numbers 01, 03, 05 and 06!

Besides that we have images of aircraft with the shark on the tail spotting production / construction numbers and so 0011 & 0012 are confirmed.

As such, there are unlikely any 35007 and beyond since all LRIP aircraft - and here cn. 00xx fits nicely - no longer have a prototype number.
Even more it can be assumed that there are at least 12 LRIP naval J-35 and most likely they are the ones waiting the more numbers 80, 81, 82 & 93 which are all confirmed ones so far.

Does 80 means that there are 80 J-35 so far produced? I dont think that many has been produced in such a short time? @Deino

As such - and exactly like @Michael explained - 80 is not a sequential number started by 01 but a simple note number and as it seems, no. 80 is the first.

Which one of the four however is which cn. Is not known (at least by my understanding)

 

[Deino]

why are you getting so triggered and losing you marbles

I clearly said this is what ChatGPT said and even said if its wrong feel free to correct

that is very pathetic and insecure to get triggered over serial numbers ! even more so when you know its AI!

Why are you so insecure to ask ChatGPT anyway? And even more the fact that you feel triggered by a factual correction eels much more … I‘m not triggered, only annoyed sine this is a so much stupid common trend nowadays! Infused of researching on your own, thinking on your own guys are more and more posting lazily created AI stuff and are not even eager to check that nonsense, but insists begin mocking others who current this BS!

Therefore … WHY POSTING BS anyway!? So the only one who‘s pathetic is you.

IF i understand your post right than so far 12 LRIP naval J-35 visually confirmed by you? How many PLAAF ones visually confirmed?

 

[Deino]

That's my assumption too, even if only four in service are confirmed yet and again as @Michael I think noted, these could be renumbered prototypes too.

For the Air Force also 4 aircraft are confirmed wit two of them spotting the construction number 01xx aka first Batch!

Attempting to determine the number of a specific type of PLA fighter jet through eyewitness accounts is a futile exercise.

Chinese official agencies never release these precise figures.

If you try to count the PLA's fighter jets in the same way the @Pakistan Space Agency attempts to count every JF-17 fighter jet through tactical coding and photo analysis, then you can give up......

We can only roughly estimate a "reasonable" range of numbers based on the production processes of Chinese military industrial enterprises, technological developments, and subtle clues from related news. This is merely for entertainment and doesn't have much practical significance.

The statistics on the number of J-20 fighter jets published in military reports from various countries around the world are completely different. Even these professional military research institutions with vast information resources are so vague; it's impossible for ordinary military enthusiasts to obtain accurate data.
