J-15 carrier-borne fighter thread

[defenceman]

Can't say for sure, it's still CG after all. A typical loadout from photos seems to be 4 missiles, 2 x PL-12 and 2 x PL-8.

Hi if we set aside CGI what kind of those silver missiles suppose to be j15 without YJ12 one if possible to answer
thank you

YJ-91/Kh-31P anti-radiation missiles most likely.

Found this photo of the most heavily armed J-15s I've seen airborne. Foreground aircraft has "YJ-12" visible on one of the missiles. Thought previously that YJ-12 was for H-6 and JH-7 only.

I just doesn't make sense to have a 2+ to 3-ton YJ-12 being carried on any of those pylon which can only safely carry up to 1.5 ton per pylon.

Seems as if my wish came true?!!

Happy 13th anniversary of the J-15's "Flying Shark" maiden flight. And so, please SAC ... unveil the J-15B! ... and here it is, still small but anyway!

May be it's the light. But is that J-15 have the same grey scheme as J-16?

Hope we can have more clear photo soon, I have interest in the possible new nose cone based on previous photo.

The security guard said do not take any photos, but what's the point of having the plane here if we can't take any photos... stupid.

Same reason that you are not allowed to take photos in many museums?
