What do You think of this report:

....

The report did not specify which training aircraft was being used, but experts said it was likely to be the L-15B Falcon supersonic advanced jet trainer developed by Hongdu Aviation Industry in Nanchang, Jiangxi province.

Chinese military websites have previously reported that the L-15B would be modified for aircraft carrier pilot training. The light attack aircraft is also used by the air force for training and has been exported to Venezuela and Zambia.

....

To admit I'm very much sceptical both on SCMP's and Minnie Chan's reliability & credibility and even more on this. So far one L-15B-prototype/demonstrator is flying, in PLA-service this is called JL-10 and not L-15 ... however the fact that a carrier-capable variant based on the "B" is surely better suited than the current standard model is undeniable.

Does anyone what PLA Naval Aviation base this is?
Allegedly a batch of 3 JL-10Hs were delivered to this base alongside JH-7As (?)

Just got the reply ... it is Suizhong, the 3rd Regiment (maybe from the 5th NAD/13rd AR) ... and it seems as also Qinhuangdao/Shanhaiguan has no longer JH-7A (5th NAD/13rd AR) but JL-9 ... maybe from the 3rd AR at Jiyuan??

Anything coming out from SCMP, especially if they include "unnamed sources", should be treated as false until proven otherwise.
