J-15 carrier fighter thread

[vesicles]

I'd guess the "T" means "Tang"(彈) or slingshot (from a catapult).

You mean "Tan"?

You mean "Tan"?

well, there's no standard penyin in Taiwan, Tang and Tan are close enough.

I believe this was posted before.

There is no way a J-15 can sustain that kind of mass hanging from its wing hardpoint, not to mention that the model of the YJ-12 seems out of scale.

If the JH-7A can hang a YJ-12 from a wing hardpoint, I see no reason a J-15 can't also do this.

There is no evidence that the JH-7A is capable of supporting the YJ-12 in the first place, let alone on a wing hardpoint.

A fighter bomber is built to carry a heavier payload than a fighter jet at the expense of maneuverability. So even if the JH-7A is slightly smaller than a flanker, the wing payload carrying capability of the former should be at least comparable to that of the latter with probably better stability.

ot, just curious, how would 唐 be spelled in Taiwan?

That's a YJ-91, not YJ-12. Flankers can also carry YJ-91s as seen below.
