[Khafee]

Sir do these J15s shall be only for naval roles or some shall be for ground strikes.

Multi-role

 

[Khafee]

if i may add...
@Khafee : OR as said there will more be coming later. Is PN raising a squadron or two of their own?

Let them come first, then lets see. As it is people have been unable to digest the first 15.

Hahah well said sir, trust me even after arrival few legend's will not accept it. Come with foolish interesting statments ...

 

[Pakhtoon yum]

J10 or J15?

J10 - I dont know, and am least bothered to be honest

J15 - On track IA.

I meant J-15 thanks.

Interesting. I wonder why we are going for J15 and not J16 which is using an AESA Radar?

J15 does not have an AESA radar?

J11 was the first version of the Sino-Flanker family and had a lot of advisory input from the Russians. Sinced it was a licensed copy of Su-27, Chinese are contract bound not to export it or any versions of it. J-16 is the further evolution and is in the same category as SU-30MKK (which China had also acquired). I believe it comes under the same export restrictions.
J-15, on the other hand was developed using a partially built copy of SU-33 that China had acquired from Ukraine. It has zero input from the Russian and not subject to any export restrictions. It has complete Chinese engine (WS-10), avionics, radar, and armaments.
I keep mentioning that if PAF gets these birds, they would be J-15 in name only (to circumvent export restrictions) unless we are getting existing planes that PLANAF wants to part with.
They will have a lot of cross breeding with J-16. I do not think we need the folding wings and the strengthened under carriage required for carrier operations. That itself will save 2-3000 kgs in weight.
These planes will be J-15P. I'll call them Fi'zai Hangor.

Or call then JF15 ?

Or that

It is similar to F-7P inducted in PAF during late 80s. They already had some PAF input i-e MB00 ejection seats (God bless MB has saved lives of a few people dear to me), a primitive RWR system etc.
After a decade in PAF service, we had significant input into what became F-7PG (or MG Airguard). The double cranked delta wing, Grifo-7 radar uprated engine made it a very potent point defense fighter. I see similar trend here. PAF has had significant exposure to J-11/16 during Shaheen exercises as well as rumored training in China embedded with PLAAF.

As info i heard from few PAf pilots have very good training on J10 and J11 thay can fly them to there full potential
