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.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.

In case of a blocked runway you will lose all aircraft in the air, if you are not in range of an airbase.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).
3 lost since the J-15 exist ofc !Nothing but rumor! They make be at their land naval base Huangdichun and did not participate in the exercise
