Does anybody know when the J-15S will enter service?

If so, what kind of upgrades will it have? Will the EW variant make its flight soon?

I think due to save cost, they didn't replace the twin 130mm main gun with domestic HJP12 single 130mm gun. The PLA is not happy with the Russian twin 130mm main gun performance.

Isn't the YJ-12A purely an air-launched weapon?
