JL-9G PLAAF carrier trainer variant 中国山鹰教练机带尾钩版曝光！今年或要上航母,去年曾有山鹰教练机在陆地模拟甲板进行滑跃起飞的画面流出，最近更是曝光了其带着舰尾钩版本早已存在。山鹰上舰，或许就在今年！

But this is an old image from June 2014 together with this one from May 2014:

If I'm not mistaken, the tailhooks were removed because the airframe couldn't handle the stress of arrested landings.

JL-10

Very nice ... 78437 would mean 172. Brigade ... or again from the new serial-numbering system?

 

[samsara]

PLAAF JL-10 with serial number of 78437, the 98th JL-10 on assembly line.

Today (April 23, 2017) is also the 66th anniversary of the founding of the HAIG or Hongdu Aviation Industry Group, based in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province.

Can L15b provides CAS like USAAF A10 thunderbolt?

Interesting, but esp. this image is very much a mock-up only.

Can L15b provides CAS like USAAF A10 thunderbolt?

Surely not, role-like maybe but surely not capability-wise. Alone the A-10's cannon and armour is a league of its own.

 

[Deino]

Here it is ... + afterburner engines it seems.

Larger ...

.. but wait; with already the PLAAF-symbol applied with the PLAAF introduce this version too - maybe as a Q-5 successor ?? - ... I thought it is an export version.

 

[Deino]

Hmmm .... however from the last images it looks more like a mock-up ??!
