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!

I read someone say that the one we saw last week could be J-15B.
J-15T would be powered by WS-10.
It's possible that they have an interim step with upgraded avionics and weapon suite before moving to the full J-15T version.

More high-resolution images, lots of detailed shots of the nose gear, the canted radome, tail hook, the new HUD, etc.

I read some comments on Weibo about how the canards on J15T are different, something about they are individually moveable to help with maneuvers. Was this not the case with the original J15s?
