As attention is focused on the J-15B jet after the launch of China’s first domestically produced aircraft carrier, a military expert has said that mass production of new carrier-based fighters can definitely be expected.

Yin Zhuo made the remarks in response to reports that China has suspended production of its J-15 fighters, and will start production of J-15B fighters. J-15B fighters are equipped with active electronically scanned array radars. They can compete with U.S.-made F-35B fighters in terms of detecting range and capability, which means they are competitive in battles to control air and sea, according to media reports.


Interesting, since this would de facto confirm the J-15B-designation !

big thing happened at SAC yesterday morning`````packed with cars with official plates (came from top), loads of police were at presence```big banners been put on inside the facility````maybe someone is getting a proper 'HuKou' then````:D:

what engines will be used? thanks

MORE; PLEASE tell us more ... but that sounds less related to the J-15 and more to another project !?

I don't know! I don't know!```````the very basic instinct of his, pulled over and about to take a photo```and then this motion drew unnecessary attention from the security polices, a kindly wave with a serious face, so he went back to his seat, drove away````

New J-15? New 5th gen? or simply some kind of award ceremonies for the 1st of May National Labour's Holiday``who knows``?````I think more info will come out``be patient```
 
That's exactly the problem ... my problem !
as I said long before, Chinese defense development and achievements are like teasing stripping dance```, you know what is behind that thin fabric, but you will never know what exactly looks like, and it could cost you a dear to know the 'exactly' ```````:lol:
 
Thats what it said from the news article

Simply a loose translation...:coffee:

On April 9, 2017 satellite images showed Xincheng carrier pilot training base in a yellow skin (Xincheng city is located in Huludao, Liaoning). Included in the image was the J-15, appeared unexpectedly, not the usual type but in yellow skin in Xincheng training base. Again, we have yellow skin machine, which has been identified as the advanced model of the carrier-based aircraft, J-15B.

Due to the large aircraft carrier fleet is a huge integrated project, includes nuclear submarines, surface combatant ships, naval fighters, planes and so on... all the needed equipment. Because our country "developmental stage" couldn't cope with the needs of building aircraft carrier fleet at that moment, therefore the constructions of aircraft carriers were carried out with smaller steps, incremental approaches for quick realization. The first two aircraft carriers employed the unassisted ski-jump take-off, to gain some familiarity and first-hand experiences with the use of carrier, wait further for the other carrier of more mature technology to deploy the catapult-assisted launch system.

Some netizens said that our country in building the unassisted ski-jump take-off system, the aircraft carrier technology used is backward, and even has the technology level --there was even some mocking by foreign media-- to that of the 60 years old. This understanding is gravely wrong, because our country used the unassisted ski-jump take-off in building the early aircraft carriers, while set plan for the medium-term improvement, carefully studying the modification of the island superstructure, reserved space for installing a catapult system in future.

At present our country already has the ability to build carriers with catapult-assisted launch, forms a complete set (nuclear submarines, cruisers, AWACS) of engineering technology by leaps and bounds, so the current fighters J-15 only serve as a transitional type, when they are close to retirement age, the transformation from the unassisted ski-jump take-off (STOBAR) to catapult-assisted launch (CATOBAR) carrier renovation project will have been kicked off as well.
