Nothing but rumor there is no official confirmation of crash
Come on I guess some people doesn't like to see the success of Liaoning operation

I was able to clearly identify the following of the 13 aircraft on deck:

120
104
113
103
119
116
111
102
100

That's nine, meaning four others were used.
I guess, all serviceable J-15 (20?) participate in the exercise in a rotating system between their airbase and the carrier and may be visible in videosequences. But not more than 13 at the same time were parked on the flightdeck for a fotoshooting.

Why? Why station the rest of the complement in their airbase? They don't need to park all the J-15's on the flight deck. Just because we don't see them in the pictures doesn't mean they're not with Liaoning. 13 J-15's on the flight deck are a lot, and in fact have taken all the available fixed parking spots.

If they have more than 20 J-15's, which we know they do, why not take them all with mission instead of rotating between Liaoning and airbase? That would be absurd, unless you have very valid reasons (like short of pilots).

In case of a blocked runway you will lose all aircraft in the air, if you are not in range of an airbase.
