And we even have seen one last year in November ... maybe it is the one?

Should be.

~~~

Additional note to my original post:
@伏尔戈星图 also specifically mentioned "海太行", or "Sea-Taihang". So I believe that's definitely referring to the WS-10(H?)s meant for the upgraded/re-engined J-15s.

A J-15B in flight, alongside what appears to be the "Flying Shark" logo painted on its vertical stabilizer. Could be indicative that at least few J-15Bs are already in use by some units.

You beat me right by a few minutes and this is my post/reply on this new image: However the grey shark on the tail is not new!


Finally a new a even a bit clearer image of the improved J-15B. Clearly visible is the catapult bar on the front landing gear And the different (canted) radome.

However, still not clear is the type of engine and if this is a prototype or finally a serial aircraft.

Said to be the first time a J-15S with the number 39 spotted. Posted by @太湖军I名 on Weibo.

I just saw it too and indeed, for the first time J-15S twin-seater number 39 was seen, which means, the number in service within the Naval Aviation University is larger than expected, even more so I thought no. 40 would be the first one.

Relatively rare photos of a J-15S twin-seater.
