J-15 carrier-borne fighter thread

[plawolf]

The problem is that we either have never or rarely seen any J-15 with more than 4 missles (reall or dummy) in flight, hence the idea that there are issues with the J-15/Stobar

That’s just silly because just how often do we get pictures of any Chinese fighters with massive missile payloads? Any Chinese military watcher of any base competence can tell you that.

Ya, that is a concern too. Either state media is trying to hide the strength or you have some obsolete planners still calling the shots. We see F-15 SE carrying heavy strike smartbombs/sdb + AA missle photoshoot, while we get J-16 and a few unguided rocket pods LOL

"State media" -- given how secretive the PLA are, and given what weapons we know are part of regular inventory for the various fighter types, in TYOOL 2021, is there anyone who believes that the lack of routine pictures of PLA fighters carrying heavy loads is due to anything other than deliberate PLA secrecy and the fact that heavy loads are rarely carried in peacetime?


This isn't state media being secretive.
This is the PLA allowing certain things to be photographed and videoed and not allowing other things to be photographed and videoed.

It's just that China is not playing in childish d*** measurement contests...

Is it time to continue to talk about J-15, China's first carrirbourne fighter? The wait for the 2nd half of the excellent piece by @Bltizo seems so long.

Where can I read his piece of writing?
