I know, this image showing the J-15B prototype no. 1511 was already posted some time ago, but this one looks to be clearer, so that both the PL-10 AAMs on the wing-tips pylons and the YJ-83K AShMs are better visible.

May I ask why this should be or is a J-15D?

Tail hook + sloped cockpit (two-seater) + antenna behind the canopy.

Tail hook + sloped cockpit (two-seater) + antenna behind the canopy.

The first two detail are indeed obvious … but I must admit, at first I was not sure if it would be just an ordinary J-15S twin-seater, but that strange antenna on the spine behind the canopy is shaped more like a thorn on the "D" than the "simple" blade antenna on the "S".
