As of late 2025, China is confirmed to have at least 300 Chengdu J-20 stealth fighters in service with the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). This milestone was highlighted during the 2025 Changchun Air Show, where an aircraft bearing the construction number CB10300 was identified as the 300th airframe produced. Production capacity at the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation has surged significantly, with current estimates suggesting an annual output of approximately 100 to 120 airframes. Due to this rapid expansion, some assessments indicate the total inventory could exceed 500 units by 2026 and potentially reach 1,000 fighters by 2030. The fleet now includes the baseline J-20, the upgraded J-20A featuring indigenous WS-15 engines, and the twin-seat J-20S variant.
