In case some of you did not know everyone in the PLA, PLAN, PLAAF is called a SOLDIER

And here are the next six production aircraft, 112-117::
Altogether, then, there were 18 production aircraft we know of and I believe all of them have been on the Liaoning. But the 117 was lost, so that leaves 17 production aircraft.
They also have 6 flying prototypes. So 23 flying J-15 aircraft.
I have to believe that they have produced more.
Perhaps 24 production aircraft in their first batch.
Who knows? (Well, certainly there are those in the PLAN who know for sure! LOL!)
We will have to wait until we see them.

We see this:
H-6G flying at altitude.
H-6G releases a missile.
H-6G's missile motor ignites:
Missile accelerates away from H-6K:
Missile continues on its way:
Neat stuff. The entire video has a lot of good stuff in it like this, particularly PLAN vessels.

Here's an overhead photo of the 001A Carrier construction at Dalian, as posted on the 'Janes' webpage today.
I don't think this image has been posted here, apologies if it has!
Anyway, its a neat aerial view of the carrier.

That's looking good.
The aft elevator is installed.
Both sections of the island are sitting there waiting to be lifted.
But...here's what I hope to see soon:
Notice, I am showing the openings through the flight deck closed off and all of that internal work done. When we see this, then the structure will be complete.
Here's to hoping we see her looking like this within the next couple of months..

She is looking more and more beautiful each and every day. Now I know why people gets so excited watching their nations carrier being built.

I have put together about 150 very decent photos of the PLAN doing exercise over the last few months. If you want to see how far they have come, and far they have advanced in modernizing their naval forces...take a look at this photo album. Feel free to pass it around.

Here are a few more. There are 150 photos there...well worth your time.
