Does anyone know what type of radar the Tango carries?

I have no idea. Eyeballing the shape and size of that canted radome, it reminds me of the abortive J-11D and J-15T, but that doesn't tell us anything about the radar.

The refueling pod carried by J-15T is slightly different from old ones (nose removed?) I guess the nose gear of J-15T limits the length of stores there so the pod is reshaped.View attachment 138888View attachment 138889

It's an inlet cone.

A funny doodle. From left to right: J-15T, J-15D, and J-15 with buddy refueling pod.

So far CN010014, 020031 and 020035.

I wonder if CN is sequential across batches like J20 or starts at 1 for each batch like J-16? Because in the 2nd case that would mean at least 49 J-15T built to date.

Thinking about the OG J15s, at first I thought it would make sense to keep these in the CAGs for 2nd line stiff, especially tanking, but that would mean maintaining both AL31 and WS10, would simplify things greatly if could go all WS10. Then again, there are the J-15Ds to consider - are they WS10 yet?
