Shenyang J-15 aircraft carrier-based aircraft

[IblinI]

But if it just "successfuly completed this afternoon" all these rumours stating it even entered operational service are plain wrong.

There was the saying of Navy first tested it on a J11BS and now a brand new J15D, meaning they are happy with the result.

That might make sense, but also in mind of this post:

... "reaching already operational service" is stil some time away when this is the first true J-15D.

Hmmm??? Via Scramble:

Recently, clear pictures have been published for the first time of a new J15 version build by XAC (Xi’an Aircraft Company).

The J15S is nicknamed by enthusiasts as Sino-Growler, because it seems to have been developed to mimic the Boeing EA-18G in the Electronic Warfare role. For this purpose the wingtips feature large electronic support measures (ESM)/ Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) pods.

It is believed the airframe already first flew in October 2016. The dual seat aircr...aft is destined to operate within the Chinese Carrier Air Wing from their aircraft carriers.

Scramble needs to unscramble their knowledge regarding Chinese aviation.
