Re: J-15 Flying Shark equipped with domestic WS-10 engines
Good point. I made the following post on May 18, 2011.
-----
China's J-15 Flying Shark and J-11BS powered by domestic WS-10A engines

[Note: Thank you to Marchpole for the J-15 Flying Shark and J-11BS pictures.]
----------
Close-up view of J-15 Flying Shark WS-10A engines (or a variant):
Nice comparison made by "QuantumFX" (Key-Forum)
Shorter engine nozzle and silver petals mean WS-10.
[Note: Thank you to Deino for the J-15 WS-10A engine pictures. Thank you to Lion for the analysis.]
We got photos of the engines months ago, that is not news. But the new photo is great

Re: PLAN's first Carrier Strike Fighter the J-15 Flying shark
A rather OT:
Too bad our most reputable pics posters (namely Deino, Martian...) do not read Chinese. When you trying to "Thank you &&& for the pic", you should really thanks the guy named 傻人放火 who put that nasty watermark everywhere. (loose translation: "dumb out for arson" - not "dumb arsonist", it's an verb, not a noun...)
He is the rumoured guy who being invited for tea, too many times. (semi-official leaker?)
________
The guy gives almost "real time" presentation of China's carrier, who also put nasty watermarks everywhere, named 上山下乡. (Loose translation: "to the mountains and rurals!", don't bother the translation if you are not familiar with culture revolution era.)
Judging by the size of the carrier, I guess the PSB don't bother to invite "witness" for tea.

Re: PLAN's first Carrier Strike Fighter the J-15 Flying shark
Great pictures guys, they really add a new dimension to lots of other discussions on the plans future carriers, as the Headmaster observed a quick topoff after launch is a very practical means of increasing combat loadout and range. I observe that there hasn't been much activity on this thread, now that the Variag has returned to port from her second cruise. The discussion of the "witness" is somewhat humourous as I noted on another thread of fifth gen aircraft, this is how you project strategic capabilities as well as a fabulous marketing tool. As much as we all love flying and boats, (complicated combination that) there has to be a money stream. Its often difficult to sell defensive/offensive military equipment to the folks. I would say that designing and bringing an aircraft carrier to production and then loading it out to be combat ready is a monumental task, not for the faint of heart or the light of wallet.

The first J-15 prototype is believed to have performed its maiden flight on August 31, 2009, powered by Russian-supplied AL-31 turbofan engines.On May 6, 2010, the aircraft conducted its first takeoff from a simulated ski-jump.In July 2011, it was reported FWS-10H turbofan engine was chosen for J-15 fighter, which has takeoff thrust increased to 12,800 kg, comparing FWS-10 turbofan's 12,500 kg. Other improvements were also made to make it better suited to carrier-based fighter's requirement.On 25 November 2012, Chinese media announced that two J-15s had made successful arrested landings on the aircraft carrier Liaoning.Test and training program officials confirmed the carrier-borne aircraft and special equipment for the landing flight had gone through strict tests, and fighter jets can be deployed on the carrier.In December 2013 Chinese media reported that mass production of J-15s in full operational condition with combat markings had begun.

An unfinished Su-33 prototype, the T-10K-3,was acquired from Ukraine sometime in 2001 and is said to have been studied extensively, with development on the J-15 beginning immediately afterward.
It is also known as Flying Shark.
While the J-15 appears to be structurally based on the Su-33, the indigenous fighter features Chinese technologies as well as avionics from the J-11B program.
