And the results calculated in this way are consistent with the figures provided by some Think Tanks in the United States - the CAC produces between 38 and 42 J-10B and J-10C jets each year. These data are also consistent with the production of the older versions J-10 and J-10A

J-10B production has ended IIRC. J-10C is now the main focus. I guess there may be an exception for a few WS-10B powered versions like J-10B #0155 & #0156

According to Henri K's chart the J-10B was produced from 2013 to 2015, and the J-10C was also produced starting 2013, so that's an overlap of 3 years of production.

Obviously the production facilities for J-10 versions will not be used for J-20 production, but the same is not true for people. With the start up of J-20 production people will have moved from J-10 to J-20 production and people needed to be introduced from somewhere else or other production, of i.e. J-10, was reorganized to need fewer people and produce aircraft at a lower rate.

Only one J-10C # 2.01 was produced 2013, the rest of the J-10Cs from #2.03 upward, was spotted since Sept 2015, while the J-10Bs up to #1.53 was spotted till May 2015, so the overlap can be neglected.

A thing is sure with Navy 12 Rgts x 28 J-10s : 336 total inventory 410 A/S/B/C about so some others Rgts are equiped with J-10s...Smileys perplexe.PNG

basically, in the past 3 years, they've produced 2 batches of around 55 single seaters and some J-10Bs. It works out to be around 40 a year. They can certainly ramp that up higher if they want, but that's what they are comfortable with. I don't see why you need a henriK chart to figure that out.
