Acquisition of J-15 for PAF- Air Superiority & Deep Strike Platfrom

[Proud Pakistani]

Sir, No offense but I for the time being i don’t think if what you are saying about 15 J-15s means them being new. I read somewhere that J-15B has been speculated to enter production But Only this year. Most probably they will be used ones.

Well, Lets see what comes of it. There are too many possibilities to even draw conclusions

Chinese were making Batch 3 of J-15 and It was reveled on twitter 2 to 3 month back. Attaching pictures for your reference! I think ours will be from batch 3.

I remember reading that news, Isn’t that J-15B in the third batch as deino or maybe some other guy claimed and confirmed ?

Like I said, Too early to draw out possibilities, you will be right as well, I hope so IA, No reason to not believe you and I wasn’t rejecting your claim, I was discussing the possibility of its content and variant and all...

When you first said about J-15 some months ago, I still believed that what you said has logical weight as well given the Soviet Ukrainian origin of SU-33 design and how China doesn’t need Russia’s permission to resell J-15 design...

When it happens IA, It will be a nightmare for India, Given the variety of customization China provides... It will be a dream come true.

Plus, 15 units are almost nothing for China, They have greater ambitions In this region and Indian ocean as well as CPEC, 15 J-15s are nothing, So another reason to believe this claim.

But let us all stay this discussion for a while to respect the Armed forces and their plannings.

Will very stronge bird if it inherits few features from j16 or j11d using lable of j15 variant upfront, removing carrier based overload replacing with EW add on

I don't remember anyone confirm it to be J-15B, but logic says that they resume production after some heavy upgrade to airframe and its avionics and they have all the capability to do so ( Reference to J-11D & J-16). Even we have seen pictures of J-15D.

You are kidding now

Everyone knows J-35,

But still in case you don’t know, I remember posting a thread here when the news broke on Chinese internet.

Let people digest the J15 then in a year or two we will talk about it

No, I was just informing you about J-35 incase you missed, no intentions to ask anything

I remember reading it somewhere, Let me find it, Will post

I guess it has to do with AESA and some EW elements or maybe twin seater, Let me find first, Don’t remember...

The site I earlier talked about, Mentioned earlier that the third batch Would be J-11B with EMALS optimizations, AESA and improved EW systems.

However, Third batch as per a rumour of 2 months ago, Was being manufactured for upcoming CV-002 carrier.

Sami ibrahim Vlog few months back when IK went to China his last visit president Shi said to IK take any weapon system you like or you need China will provide You.Ik said to president Shi Pak will pay every $ for these systems. He mentioned that J series plane PAF looking and Pilots are already in China for training. My take was its not FC20 its J15 make logical since J20 is not mature or j31 is not up to mark.
