A more direct comparison of the forward landing gears on the J-15 (left) versus the J-15T (right). Posted by Big Bun CG on Weibo.

A J-15T on the assembly floor. @Deino, there is a construction number (040070).

Does that suggest at least 70x J-15Ts have been produced?

If so, that's quite impressive. A year ago it wasn't clear that the type was even in service!

J-15DT.

Looking at it, I wonder if making separate J-15DT and J-16D was really worth it, or just one J-15DT for both services could be good enough.
J-16D should be substantially lighter and longer-ranged, of course. Plus the engine difference... But I still wonder if a dian- H-6 could've been a better, non-duplicating investment.

J-15S is real(check this thread), I wonder what's J-15B though. Non-cata Prototypes?
