YJ-15 seems to be a smaller YJ-12 without sacrificing speed or range. J-15 carried means carrier wing has a supersonic anti-ship missile. This is the world's first carrier borne supersonic AShM. Air launched brahmos only comes off Su-30MKI which is not a carrier capable aircraft.

Kh-31A is there, so no.
First heavy carrierborne ASCM - ahead of Brahmos-MA - now that's without doubt.
I wonder how many J-15 can take. Minimum 2, potentially up to 5?

YJ-12 comes off a H-6 and I'd imagine a J-15 can potentially give the YJ-15 more initial energy compared to H-6 for air launched YJ-12.

Unless it's a design intention (like kinzhal), I think no one tests supersonic weapon separation for stand off a2g stores...minimum added value for a lot of work.

J-15 could probably carry 3 max with two on each wing and one between the nacelles. I doubt the outer pylons can carry these as they are still rather heavy despite being downsized.

It almost never happens in practice, but there's a photo of test su-30 with 4 1500-class bombs under wings in flight. Chinese pylons are likely similar.

The question is probably not in the weight - rather geometry and store separation safety.

But yeah, 2-3 is far more likely.

Doing so would be pretty costly in terms of endurance/combat radius, though certainly a solvable issue through buddy-tanking or refueling by other allied aerial manned/unmanned assets.
