Although J15B is expected to be at par if not more advance than J16 but the expectation of J35 entering service seemed to over-shadow J15B's service induction. Thus the impression of lack of enthusiasm from members here.
I am happy that the in-service J15B are joining Liaoning and Shandong because when Fujian enters service there will be at least a few dozens of J15B ready for her, together with aircraft carrier landing certified pilots.
With latest AESA radar and sensors, and latest WVR and BVR air to air missiles, especially those ultra long range missiles, J15B will be a beast in its own league. Working together with J35, they will be navy equivalent to PLAAF J20 + J16 combination.
