Several joints have picked up on the news and are trying to frame it as a move related to the Russo-Ukranian war and not a long coming part of the existing plan.

Nothing particularly interesting in the article other than their typical "speculation shotgun" tactic while filling it with tweets of Deino and other PLA watchers.

In my memory, there has been no news about China's purchase of Russian AL-31 engine for several years.

From Yankee, he thinks the highlight of this video is that there is a J15D next to and behind this aircraft,

I saw this at this tweet:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1596512663290449929

However, in fact I'm confused? I tried to improve the original image a bit and put the cut-out parts of this tweet beside them, but I see nothing that looks like a J-15D.

Yes, this antenna on the intake looks suspicious, but given that also J-16s are standing around in the same workshop it could also be a J-16D.

Does it have two wheels on the front landing gear?

Yes, but the J-16 has also two ... but it has this strange mud-guard

Left J-16 .... right J-15

The front landing gear of J15 and J16D are quite different. J16D's shock absorbing rod is pointed at a prominent angle to the ground and is not directly connected to the center of the wheel, while that of J15 is more vertical downwards and is directly connected to the wheel center.

The image of the blur landing gear in question looks more like J15.
