J-15 carrier fighter thread

[szbd]

With weapon pylons on the folded part of the wing, is the loading procedure unfold the wings in the hanger to load ordinance onto these pylons, then fold the wings back up again with weapons attached, or the ordinance is attached directly onto the pylons while the wings remain folded?

i don't think you load anything in hanger except empty fuel tanks. Also, the plane never go back to hanger until she needs a maintenance. So most of loading must occur on deck anyway.

Exactly. That's why there are weapon elevators.

There are weapon elevators in the hangar, too.

By the way ... any news on the J-15A or B and even more what is the current status of the J-15S and D ?

This AEW aircraft can be cousin with Yak-44 ? considering Ukrainian provide a Su-33 prototype, the T-10K-3...

That doesn't really address the question. Are the ordanances for the pylons on the folded part of the wing loaded with the wings folded or extended? On both Russian and Chinese carriers, naval Flankers are seen parked with folded wings and weapons on the pylons on the folded part.

Unless Russian and Chinese ordnancemen are 3m tall giants, I'm pretty sure the missiles are loaded with the wings extended, and then folded up.

See USN ordnancemen loading AIM-9s onto F-18 wingtip pylons:

And then the wings are folded up, with missiles attached.

There can be mechanical loaders. As seen in the low manning requirement and high mechanization and automation levels in Russian nuclear submarines, the philosophy of mechanization and automation in other navies can be substantially different from those of the USN.
