Shenyang J-15 aircraft carrier-based aircraft

[Akasa]

Another possibility is of course the plane in question is a J-15S.

A catapult-capable J-15S? Equipped with AESA as well?

At the end of the J-20+4tanks-video a J-15 was shown ...

Could it be that this is possibly a photo of a J-15A ??

The nozzles appear to be more silverish, more like a WS-10 and not like an AL-31F? Also there doesn't appear to be a pitot on the nose ... which could be a hint that this is already another J-15A and not the prototype aircraft we saw before???

... but hard to tell because of its low resolution.

What do You think ??

Deino

It's the demonstrator.

The video was taken at least two months ago.

 

[Deino]

Do you know its CFTE- serial 5xx ??

 

[Deino]

Need some help again ... this time concerning the nature of the PLANAF J-15-unit:

I was long thinking that it is not a Division but - alone concerning the 3-digit numbers - also not a Regiment. However the unit patch may help ... ?

A friend of mine - when this image belowwas not known - deducted from a fuzzy blurred image at least the 5 characters to be: 舰载航空兵 which can be translated "aircraft carrier-borne aviation troops" !


J-15 unit badge - JZZDT

But what kind of unit is? A dedicated Regiment ? or a Division-level unit ?

At least it is known, that the home base of the J-15 fighters is Huangdicun (Pos: 40°30'00"N 120°39'26"E) – also known as Xingcheng-2 – which was constructed as a dedicated carrier-training facility with a ski-jump ramp and hangars for a full J-15 regiment there. From what I read, the base is at least officially still under the jurisdiction of Xingcheng, the home base of the Naval Aviation Academy (Flight Training Institute).

Can anyone explain that more in detail ?

Thanks in advance,
Deino

PS:

Hmmm ??? 舰 载 航 空 兵 ... is this correct ?

CCTV: J-15 firing PL-12 and YJ-83K supersonic anti-ship missile
昨天的央视焦点访谈节目再次介绍辽宁号此次出海演训的情况，此前曝光的很多内容有更多地细节呈现。包括，歼15舰载机一次齐射了两枚PL12空空导弹，并首次曝光了发射鹰击83K反舰导弹的画面，说明歼15战机的对空对海攻击能力都已经得到了验证。

Deino, what does the number "122" here mean in relation to Quantity, the number of units knowingly produced so far? 22 units? 122 units? Or else, irrelevant?
