J-15 carrier fighter thread

They stopped it and they are happy.

Just to clarify, we're calling the J-15B the catapult launched version?

Catapult? No that would be J15T

J15B would be batch 3

"with the current production rate"???? I thought it was stopped after no. 123? ... at least we have not seen any aircraft with a number larger than this.

By current production rate I mean current production capacity.

J-15 and J-15S or more likely J-15D??

Upon a second look, I'm now not so sure that it is a J-15D since I don't see the prominent wingtip ECM pods.

It is possible that this a navalized J-16, like the one spotted earlier, or maybe this is indeed the J-15S prototype or production version. Time will tell.

@huitong, what are your thoughts on this?

This pic is taken from a video clip about the J15 training unit, so it is not likely to be a J16.

IMO should be a J15S.

I agree with you, on a second look, the wing-tip-store looks the same as on the regular J-15. Anyway I haven't seen the J-15S for a long time ... so I was a bit unsure.

He thinks it is a J-15S

The question now is whether this is an one-off in-service unit or if the J-15S is really intended for serial production.
