Re: PLAN's first Carrier Strike Fighter the J-15 Flying shark
Oh, I never heard this before.
That is good. It means you have learned something.
The SU-33 is a Russian naval aircraft that they use on their Kuznetsov aicraft carrier. It is one of the basis for the J-15, but the J-15 is newer, and based also on the Chinese J-11B, which has many improvements structurally, electronically, and with avionics.

What I know is the J-15 have joined army 5 years ago.
Actually, its first flight was in 2009. This is different from it "joining" the military, which in this case is not the Army, but the Navy, the PLAN. In November 2012, about two years ago, it made its first landing on the Chinese carrier, the Liaoning.
It takes many years for a new aicraft to go from first flight, through all of its testing to inital operational capability (which is known as IOC), to full operation. The J-15 is still testing, and the first eight or nine production aircraft have now been built and joined the six or seven prototype aircraft being used for test (you can tell these because of the more yellow color, where the production sircraft are painted in standard PLAN colors).
So, the J-15 has not really joined the PLAN yet, because they are still testing it. But I expect in the next 12-18 months we may see it become IOC.
This is not unusual. The new US F-35 stealth fighter has had over 100 production aircraft already built, and it will achieve its IOC with the US Marines in 2015.

As a denouement, I am wondering the message you and White House get is real or not.
LOL! Well, I cannot tell you about the White House. I can freely tell you that I do not agree with, and seriously dislike and disagree with many of the things the "White House" is doing these days. As a very loyal, and constitutionsl American, I would much more like to see a Ronald Reagan in there. But I am an old war horse now with nine grandkids...so my feelings are not too surprising.
I can tell you however, that the information about these aircraft I am telling you is absolutely correct. Study it yourself.

I can tell you my dad's high-school classmate is a captain of chinese submarine.
Even that is too much specific information to divulge perhaps.
Agonizing Bliss said:
Thus, I know many truths.
Perhaps you do. I have no doubt.
But consider this...what you thought you "knew" about the SU-33 was not the truth. It was incorrect.

But, you know I will not tell Westerners.
You should seek to protect you nation AB, I commend you for that desire. I do the same for my country.
But also use wisdom...and wisdom comes with age.
