Hasn't the prototype been painted already? Is this a new plane?


Not sure ... I think the first prototype was already painted some time ago and a second yellow bird was spotted in October 2014 + a third (or the same) in September 2015.
Any info on how many are build so far ... when will it become operational ??

We now have several pictures of the Liaoning showing eight J-15s on deck at once with a couple of helos too.

I hope to see 10 or 12 on deck together at some point. It may wellhave already happened IMHO, we just do not have pics of it.

Very nice. But I think China should invest in the development of smokeless propellant. Even the Indians with their Astra BVRAAM have it. The advantages are not to be underestimated.
