Not sure the best place for this, but this mentions that digital warfare 2.0 is here for air force, ground force and air defense. Real time data linking, sensor fusion, joint operations should be at another level. I think the reform that started in 2015 is getting close to completion.

Hopefully PLARF and PLAN would also be integrated as well, alongside with the support of PLASSF.

Yeah, they showed J-35 when they discussed this. I think there are probably more prototypes out there than what we know thus far.

Rumor has it that the brigade from South Theater Command that operates the J-10C (Red Eagles) will switch to J-20 soon.

In fact that does not surprises me … the 131st was always top on my list

Apparently J-10 pilots have an easier time switching to J-20 than their Flanker counterparts based on PLAAF experience. The 1st had a lot of kinks to work out during the transition process.

Indeed … and it fits since the 5th, 8th and 56th are also former J-10 units

According to latest guanqi (328)

The somewhat revent news of Taiwan reporting some 400 planes (100 US and 300 PLAAF) was fake, or at the very least, it's very likely that so many planes weren't actually scrambled and flown up in the air around Taiwan.

Honestly, if something like that actually happened, I don't think it would be as radio silent as it was, especially in western publications as well.
