Interesting ... would love to see a clear image of both the grey J-15S and J-15D! :-)

There are 4 J-15 in your illustration. 1st and 3rd are single seat whereas 2nd and 4th are tandem twin seat.

1st = J-15A
2nd = J-15S
3rd = J-15B?
4th = J-15D?

Why suddenly jumped to S then newer 1 back to D unlike US fighters variant designation that follows sequence? Example F-15A single, F-15B twin, F-15C single, F-15D twin...

Since the Chiness system follows the regular ABC only for the regular types.

The letter S stands (AFAIK ... maybe @LKJ86 can correct me) for Shuang, which means something like twin-seater or trainer, wheras the D stans dor Dian (?) meaning electronic or so.

Ah, you meant shuang 双 Dual and dian
电 electric. That should be it, got it. Like J-11B single seater and J-11BS twin seat.

If there's H means sea = hai 海

And what does this mean?
1. She has taken the war robe --- It is ready for battle/ entering serial production soon.
2. Aluminum Kid --- New aluminium alloy material used?
3. No hair on the mouth --- less connected to Russia/Ex-Soviet design? (Hair or 毛 always refer to Russia, Ukraine or Ex-Soviet.
4. Look further and clearer --- Better radar and longer range, may be other sensors as well.
5. Divine arrow --- New advance missiles,
6. More stronger --- New power plant with bigger thrust.
