J-15 carrier-borne fighter thread

A new should patch? It appears to have a tiger on it. These are J-15 pilots.

Indeed ... but no idea yet!?

We know a few details of the improved J-15B just like parts from a puzzle, but a full images of that bird are still rare.

Here one more ...

Which has been fantastic by the way. Working through it, but it has a really great narrative flow, while packing in lots of detail and great artwork/images.

The wingtip pylon design looks new. Some Weibo users suggest it might be the same design as described in the design patent below (2nd image).

Isn't this the regular pylon as used on the J-16?

They don't look the same as on previous Sino-Flanker variants.

Looks like similar to J15/J11B's wingtip pylon but minus the "upper step" part.

And with J-15 no. 79, the last gap is now clearly closed ... so that all machines are documented from No. 60 to 92*. Come on, SAC and PLAN … and now show us the J-15B! *PS: strange however is that this is an uneven number (33), so I expect at least one more J-15.

Probably not until the Fujian has fitted out.
