Any idea when the J-15B (for the Type 002 CV) will make its debut?

I thought that already happened?

... The latest rumor (October 2017) claimed that the EW variant of J-15S (J-17?) has flown for the first time.

I don't believe it did. And if so, it was probably based on a rumor ...

Ohhh ... do you have the original full-size image??

Wings folded with two heavy YJ-83K AShMs, that's impressive.

I think its part of the massive SCS exercise involved 40 ships. Slowly will reveal the more J-15 carry advances weapon onboard CV-16

Does "0001" indicate that it's a prototype or the first in a production series?

Note the serial numbers 207 and 208 on the board. What we don't know is whether these Batch 3 birds will be the J-15A variant or the much-awaited J-15B with AESA.
