Interesting it is the Navy version JL9G look like maintenance workshop. I don't see beef up structural member No wonder they can't withstand the arresting wire braking load

Sounds to me you're saying JL9G had never been proved to be "incapable" in wire breaking load, but instead it's kind of an investment decision that manufacturer never tried to. Right?
Or, is it an indication 貴航 already learned how high regard PLAAF hold to JL-10? Reasonable but it's merely my speculation...

JL-10 training for Aviadarts 2017...

A clear view of the external gun pod (?) for the L-15:

Why is this breaking news?

Perhaps he's noting that extremely bad, aerodynamically speaking, pod.

That's the external gun-pod. Already talked about in the dedicated trainers thread...
