They installed the WS-10 engine on it. They must have faith now that it can handle the sea air and the stresses of carrier landing and takeoff.

If they have enough faith to test fly the J-XX with it I'm sure it is good enough for the flankers.

I could just be not seeing things correctly, but do you see the canards on the first 2 photos? The plane looks to be painted in PLAAF colours, which would not make sense for J-15.

 

[Centrist]

You're right, the first two are not J-15s, just regular J11Bs. They have the long "stinger" still.

How do you know that j-xx is using ws-10 ? There arent any pictures clear/close enough that indicates what engine it is using.

本报讯（陈静 朱士彩）1月中旬，南航某团修理厂三期士官韩松研制成功了飞机轮胎安全充气装置，在该团机务部队推广使用。这是该团针对老装备机务维护难题开展“小革新、小发明”活动3个月以来，机务官兵自行研制的第11（套）件设备。

　　据该团团长乐险锋介绍，该团即将更换新机种，有的机务官兵感到：手中老旧装备面临“下岗”，没必要花大力气搞创新。对此，团党委高度重视，引导官兵充分认识到，不管什么时候换装，用好现有装备才是根本。为此，该团在官兵中开展“小革新、小发明”活动，鼓励官兵发挥聪明才智，围绕老装备机务维护保障难题。

cover for january issue of aviation week,"Growth hornet" or super hornet.
super hornet incorporate a lot technology from F-35.and could be F-35 killers.
giving the hard fact that J-20 going to pretty expensive,a alternative solution will be "silent Flanker" similiar to boeing "Silent eagle"
according to report that appear in chinese website 4~5 months ago, plan already underway for further reduction J-11 RCs.below the 3m RCS.
