Indeed, but that's anyway the old question ... will it have an AESA (IMO most likely, in fact it is the only logical answer) and will it have a pitot? I must admit I already expected a J-16-style-radome on the refurbished J-11BGs and still think we'll see something like this on the J-15B, but let's wait for clearer images.

Hope this can be considered as better qlty. Its QR code indicates it's from military.cnr.cn

Interesting since it has an AAM psed out a bit, but this is a J-11B and not a PL-15 (it lacks the canards!).

Presumably starting from batch 05 are the new catobar ver (guesses ofc) we've seen earlier this year? Also I m a bit confused as to why they seem to be building these non-catapult J-15s in relatively small batches of 24 each..?

Can we tell whether the radar is AESA or not from the radome?

Still has the pitot so I think its still the same old aircraft.
