Yes, I think it may have been a year ago or so.

Just a maybe stupid question, but if i'm not totally confused I think I saw an image showing the Liaoning (?) quite recently with two J-15D mock-ups on deck?

Am I now so much off or is my memory correct and I simply forgot to save this image?

PS: ... this one albeit most likely older!

Potentially new photo of the J-15B in eye-watering quality.

Looks like they’ll be sticking with AL-31 for the time being.

PLAN gradually adapting WS-10 in J-15.. i still believe actual production will use WS-10 engines.. let see

I always wondered how much the canted radome aperture could improve the RCS and as a side effect the BVR performance of a Flanker on a 1v1 basis. Like essentially, aside from the Mig-31, these things have the biggest RCS of an active, high end fighter although we don't know the details.
