I mean Deino is also being asked by them directly.
Also, the "500 as of 2026" thing is something that's long since gone beyond containment of SDF.

In the future, a large number of UADFs/CCAs (like those unveiled during the Military Parade) will operate under the command of some 6th aircrafts. This combination delivers superior overall capabilities and cost-effectiveness compared to an equivalent budget allocated solely to J-20 production. With the advancement of AI, UADF/CCA will grow increasingly capable. Moreover, these units require no pilots to operate and can be combat-ready immediately upon production. Therefore, it is strategically reasonable to divert a portion of the funding originally earmarked for manufacturing J-20s toward the procurement of UADFs/CCAs and 6th fighter aircraft.

I just thought that the timing of the article is a little too convenient.
@Deino when did TWZ approach you for interview?
On Tuesday, stupidly, I was already on vacation on my way to Italy at that time... I then asked Thomas for the questions and told him that I would need some time to answer them well... as a start I sent him a few loose thoughts via WhatsApp and unfortunately he had to publish the report before he received my detailed reply.
Therefore, it was not really an interview but just a rough exchange of ideas.
As such greetings from Italy close to the Lago Maggiore
We’re all glad to see a German friend escape the dismal German weather. Great sabotage hit job on England btw.
What a coincidence. That’s when the debate about J-20 number started in this thread.
Guess they had a slow news day at TWZ.
I will, but as mentioned above I wasn‘t ready with my comments.
But indeed, I‘m working right now on a totally revised edition of my own J-20 Bulletin (similar to the one by Harpia Publishing on the Y-20 and PLAN NA) including a revised calculation on production rate, units and so on … but since I‘m at the moment in Italy, I won‘t risk that my wife would kill me since I am again hanging around too much time on the iPad and in the internet!
