The J-15 story is getting more and more confusing!

... and now here is J-15 no. 72!

While the renumbering from 1xx numbers to 01-24 made sense and the additional Batch 03 fighters logically became No. 30+, the No. 60 modex J-15 were or are still unusual.
My feeling tells me that we see a second squadron under construction with numbers 01-35 in the first wing and no. 60-xx in the second.

Once again a great read written by @RickJoe_PLA explaining why "rumors of the J-15’s unreliability have been greatly exaggerated"!

Rumors of the J-15’s unreliability have been greatly exaggerated.

Thanks a lot even if I only have slim hopes that this will be heard by those who constantly repeat such rumours.

According to Rick Joe, the rumors was started by a Taiwan-based news. That explained.

I have developed the habit of double-checking and triple-checking news/reports from Taiwanese and Indian writers -- especially the articles are about China.

Precisely. Even a birdstrike was counted as a case of unreliably.
It is simple unbelievable.

Supplementing the first part on the J-15 the eagerly awaited second part again written by @RickJoe_PLA is again a "must read" for all interested not only in rumours but in facts.
