@Asok I don't have any opinion about the J-20 engine. But for 500 - 1000 J-20, you should count on how many J-10 (and it's variants) and J-11, J-15, J-16 (with all variants with it has now). Look at them, They are less sophisticated than J-20, but their number still has not reach 500. So unless they stop the production of J-10 and Flanker variants, I doubt that J-20 will reach 500 in 10 years. 200 maybe, if they stop the J-10 line production, but not 500.
But do you think that PLA will stop all those J-10 and Flanker variants development? There are still J-10D and J-11D, then J-15T, etc. So would they stop them to favor J-20?
Plus, I don't think that J-20 will be their sole Jet-Fighters in the future. I don't have any doubt that China will have better Jet-Fighter than J-20 in the future.
