FWIW, a poster from Shenyang. I wonder if the artist simply took J-10B/C's canted nose and stuck it on there for cool effect, or if there is something to it. Take it with a very generous serving of salt.

SAC just stole those fan art without giving the artist any credit.

If true indeed another major news: This latest image from SAC suggested that the J-15T - eventually officially as the J-15B (?) CATOBAR variant - is in production at SAC. Quite interesting it seems to feature new handles (for a CAT-launch similar to thise on the F-14) and a new HUD.

Do you think they will be able to use the CATOBAR variant on the STOBAR carrier or they will keep a STOBAR variant in production to replace attrition ?
