J-15T, welcome



Interesting to see it retains the "billboard" airbrake, but was that ever in question?

It is J-15T!

So, its official designation is J-15T not J-15B?

Yup. It's confirmed!

Yes the CCTV Military channel is calling it J-15T. And Weibo users are saying it's got WS-10, but I'm terrible at recognizing engines.

Finally, the J-15B - as it seems most likely officially the J-15T - catapult capable variant has landed!

Interesting: It looks to be a LRIP aircraft numbered 1518 (cn. 010014), that was so far not known and it is powered by WS-10 engines!

Unfortunately, the images are too large To post!

It is indeed using WS-10 engines (see the tweet above, the images are just too large!) but IMO it is a LRIP aircraft or even a late-prototype „1518“

Oh boy what the hell is going on with China's naming scheme on aircrafts
