CV-16, CV-17 STOBAR carrier thread (001/Liaoning, 002/Shandong)

Does the nose of the J-15T sits lower relative to the J-15 or is it just an optic illusion due to the the angled radome and what seems to be a thicker nose?

I had the same question yesterday. and niko_lin777 made this basic measurement. Its definitely lower at the front.

Reminds me a bit of the early Su-35/37, that had a lower nose due to it being thicker since it had a larger radar

Yes, I'm 95% sure I remember Yankee said so in a recent podcast

Question. How does the PLAN keep the flight deck in such pristine condition? Where are the tire marks? Scorch marks on the JBDs? So how do they do it?. I can see that the tail hook skid marks have been painted over. And all the flight deck markings look freshly painted...

Much better for CATOBAR landing on.
