J-15 carrier fighter thread

PS: ... Here an artwork based on the few known images of the J-15B and drawn for my latest book by Ugo Crisponi / @AVIATIONGRAPHIC
Which has been fantastic by the way. Working through it, but it has a really great narrative flow, while packing in lots of detail and great artwork/images.

The wingtip pylon design looks new. Some Weibo users suggest it might be the same design as described in the design patent below (2nd image).

Isn't this the regular pylon as used on the J-16?

And with J-15 no. 79, the last gap is now clearly closed ... so that all machines are documented from No. 60 to 92*. Come on, SAC and PLAN … and now show us the J-15B! *PS: strange however is that this is an uneven number (33), so I expect at least one more J-15.
Probably not until the Fujian has fitted out.
You think this concerning my hint towards the J-15B?
Actually I don‘t think so, the J-15Bs must be flown at a unit for quite some time before they will start testing it off the new carrier. As such I expect them to appear anytime soon, so that pilots - and not only a few test pilots - are well experienced with the new type before they start carrier trails.
