H stands for 滑. STOBAR version.
I know what it stands for. I have no idea why they wanted two different "H" suffixes for two different planes in two different roles. J-11BH (海) and now this J-15DH (滑).
Maybe they retired the old "H" designation when they transferred them to PLAAF?
Stop "J-15DH" video, you will see the confirmation.
Pardon, the DH is confirmed, but where is the TD?
She said: "DH", you can see the "T" on the landing gear. "H" in Chinese is 海 or Naval. All J-15's are naval or H's, but no one said it. We should put this way: J-15DTH. In the video, a J-15DTH landed on and took off from CV-17.
But then the designation must be wrong since so far we haven‘t seen a catapult-capable J-15D.
It's there, if you look the video frame by frame.
sorry, maybe I‘m looking the wrong one, but in the video embedded in that tweet above I see nothing.
