^^^

Is this a new prototype or the same one we've been seeing for sometime?

 

[Deino]

I would say the same ... what however surprises me is, that it still uses AL-31F engines

I have a feeling that all J-15 versions (including J-15D) destined for STOBAR carriers will have AL-31F. We'll probably start seeing WS-10 powered J-15 with CATOBAR carriers. Carrier number 03 onwards.
