This year's "August 1st Army Day" was particularly enjoyable for Chinese military fans. On August 1, the Western Theater Command released a promotional video to celebrate the 97th anniversary of the founding of the army. Among them, the picture of 10 J-20s "elephant walk" shocked the world. "Elephant walk" has always been the exclusive signature action of the US military. Suddenly, we have such a rich family. For a while, think tanks and media in the United States and Western countries analyzed the number of J-20s in service in China. Among them, a Turkish website reported that 14 brigades of the Chinese Air Force are currently equipped with J-20 stealth fighters, and the total number in service exceeds 300.

Like Western media, Chinese military fans are also very concerned about the number of J-20s in service. Although the military has not released authoritative information, some clues can still be found from the public reports of some military media and military enterprises. For example, in early 2023, "Aviation Industry" publicly displayed the newly commissioned J-20 fighter with the production batch number "CB07156". Starting from this number, Western media analyzed it like Columbus discovered the New World, believing that the PLA's mass-produced service number exceeded 156, but it has not caught up with the US military's F-22. Although the F-22 has been discontinued for a long time, there are still 187 in service.
