Even though it's CG it's still nice looking.

Great shot. It shows 13 J-15s on deck. Here is a close up:
But, I believe it is just another angle of this pic we saw sometime ago, another with 13 J-15s on deck.
The most we have seen on deck at one time.
Those pics say a LOT about the Chinese and their intentions and tepo.
I have NEVER in over 20 years, seen that any aircraft aboard the Kuznetsov at one time.
The Hciense have exercised the Liaoning (the former Varyag) more in the last four years, than the russians have done in 20 years of operating the Kuznetsov.
The Chinese are very serious about their program, and it shows.
They now have a second, and I am willing to bet we will see just as much deployment and use of her as we have the Liaoning.
The same will be true of their 3rd as well, and so forth.

Now I'm not trying to prove you wrong Jeff, but does this photo here counts? I just randomly found it online. I'm not sure if it's even real, but it does show the Kuznetsov have quite a number of air crafts (both fix wing and helicopters) on board.

A picture of her best days long time ago.
