When are we gonna see J-15S with the same grey paint job as the pair of J-15s below?
It is hoped that J-15B is being finalized.
In China ShenYang (SAC), Navy domestic J-15 fighters start to mass produce.
It means China Navy developing into Carrier Strike Time.
That's irrelevant too, Since US is not going to sell F-22 that makes your mention of F-22 under that context equally irreleavnt. It equally applies to J-15 too. You are talking to yourself and making up nonsense.
@ChineseTiger1986:
In you last diagram/table:
WS-15 - 2014
WS-10 - 2012
WS-13 - 2009
I take it that the year refers to when the engine will be ready to start testing on production aircraft rather than fully ready for use?
@Martian2 :
I am a little confused.
The WS-10A has been used in J-11B production aircraft since 2010 and there are reports that at least 200 have already been produced. The WS-10H is now being used for production J-15. So 2012 seems about right if the version being referred to maybe WS-10B in that table.
However, the WS-15 cannot be ready for mass production by 2014 as it is only 1 year away and it has not even been tested on J-20 fighters yet
Likewise, it is know that the WS-13 was first used on a flying JF-17 prototype in 2010 but there have not been much more news of this since then for some reason.
You are confusing lack of publicly released news with lack of development. The WS-15 has been in development for a decade.
According to Global Security, the core of the WS-15 engine was already functioning in 2005 (which is almost a decade ago).
WS15
"The core engine for the WS-15 engine was first tested in April 2005. The demonstrator was developed successfully and the prototype WS-15 was running smoothly. [Deleted gratuitous anti-China propaganda sentence]. Nonetheless, China has produced the WS-9 engine for the JH-7, the WS-10A engine for J-10, and the WS-15 for the new J-20 fourth generation stealth fighter. The WS-9 and WS-10A were both usable, and without the WS-10A China would not have negotiated J-10 orders with PAF."
China didn't buy the license of Russia Su-33 and Russia also didn't exported any Su-33 to China (Seriously Russian ever refused China's Su-33 request), But Chinese got one T-10k(the prototype of Su-33) from Ukraine then delieved it to China ShenYang(SAC) research center.I think we all know that Chinese would have taken license from Russian of Su-33 to develop at home and it means that there are 2-3 more carriers in line although then IN and IAF should also prepare it self and I am sure IAF should now look towards buying Rafaels and EF-2000 along with some 100 Mirage-2000s as interim from France...

Russia has lost the platform of Su-33, that's why they are going after Mig-29K.
But seriously, a modernized Su-33 will no doubt be much more superior to a modernized Mig-29.

Is it possible to fit thrust vectoring in the engine. I heard that somewhere (Don't know where?) that China will fit thrust vectoring in new fighter planes.
With thrust vectoring, the J-15 will be more agile
