It's for 001/002.So it should share the same engine as other J15. I guess J15D for 003 would be powered by TAIHANG

Ok so far we have
J15A single seater
J15S twin seater
J15D EW aircraft
J15T catapult version
Is there a different name for tanker version ?
So only version left is the batch 03 2xx J15B

That probably means it might actually fly-off CV-16 or CV-17. From the looks of it, WS-10 powered J-15 are destined for the tuture CV/CVN with catapults, while ski-jumbs are limited to AL-31F powered J-15.

J-15D probably has the same AESA on the J-16D while J-15S probably has a mechanically scanned radar like the J-15 and J-11B/BS.

So a typical airwing could consist of the following for CV-16 and 17
4 x J15D
4 x J15S
16 x J15A
They have built already 24 x J15A extra aircraft needed to deploy 16
If they start or if have started J15B they could deliver 24 units by end of 2019
Within a few years by 2020 we could see 2 x STOBAR with full spectrum of aircraft on board
