Do we have any information on what kind of radar J-15 is using?

As per the rumors:

The first batch will have the same radar as the J-11B (Type 1493), while the second batch and beyond will have AESA (the J-15S will also have an AESA).

I thought J-11B already had AESA

I am seriously hoping to see a line up regiment shot of all J-15 aircraft we know they have them in service

Maybe for the Sep 3 celebration we will! One can hope.

(2000x1103)

(1280 x 853)

One more... Note the tail hook is painted orange/yellow, not the usual white.

(2000 x 1333)

I have to admit that Su-27 family aircraft are indeed beautiful aircraft.

Basically, the General Arms Department's order to SAC was to drop all other projects and get the J-15 usable as soon as possible. Everything on the J-15 is off-the-shelf, and that's how J-11B's avionics ended up on the J-15.
