I thought they will train on JJF9 H(hai) that we saw last year . Certainly they can use it for LIFT I don't know about AJT. Didn't US train on T45 goshawk trainer?

A modified JL-9 dedicated for training pilots in takeoff and landing on a carrier deck (land-based simulated?) made its maiden flight in 2009. This variant (JL-9J?) features strengthened landing gears and an arresting hook and is expected to support the carrier based J-15 fighter. It also features a taller tailfin housing additional ECM equipment on the top and offering more stability during the high AOA landing. Due to the installation of arresting hook the twin ventral stabilizing fins were removed.

JL-9 may be pushed, but there is no way it can do the job.

Its approaching speed still too high, and carries too little fuel. Keep in mind the afterburner has to be on for both take-off and landing.

Finally ... the J-15 flies with the TH !!!! ... (I admit THIS one !)

How can you be certain its WS-10?

 

[Deino]

Just take a look at the after-burner / nozzle pedals ... they are completely different to the AL-31F's !

The engine nozzles. Only one set of petals.

I think the more important thing is that the plane has gray naval paintwork.

 

[Deino]

Simply trust me .... that's not an AL-31F but a WS-10A (or version) !

Shorter nozzle and silver petal means WS-10...

 

[Deino]

An apology to "martian" ... since this is clearyl a TH-powered J-15 !!!

(but that yellow one was clearly powered by an AL-31F !)
