But what is the "so what?" about the catapult-launch J-15? This is the question.

Pardon? what "so what?" question?

What's new/why should we care about a given photo/development

But what is the "so what?" about the catapult-launch J-15? This is the question.

What's new/why should we care about a given photo/development

If that is what SAC is asking, then the answers are:
- footage/imagery of J-15B, for an aircraft which we get relatively limited exposure of despite its developmental status/progression
- official footage/imagery of J-15B at that
- 1513 is a prototype which we haven't seen before
- the aircraft is seen in the footage doing a land based simulated carrier landing approach likely


I'm surprised the question even needs to be asked, quite frankly -- like, is it not a big deal that we are getting further clear footage/imagery of J-15B undergoing progressive testing? Is it not a big deal that it is being shown officially on CCTV?

Don't know if they've been posted before, but here's some J-15B images with allegedly WS-10s.

But instead of the LSO station, most of us want to see the EMAL station...

Actually, these images are already quite older - just out of mind I would say about one year old - and last time it was „concluded“ it would still be the old AL-31F. In fact they are too small and too blurry to be sure.
