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

[Armchair]

A specialized electronic warfare variant of the J-15 is also confirmed to be under development to complement the capabilities of conventional variants. With these enhancements applied to the already formidable air superiority airframe, and with the fighter able to take off with a full payload using an electromagnetic launch system, the J-15 could well emerge as a world leading carrier-based fighter — one which will give more urgency to calls for the U.S. Navy to quickly acquire a new carrier-based air superiority fighter of its own.

J-15s have become navy's 'iron fist'

Five carrier-borne J-15 fighter jets with Flying Shark logos painted on their vertical stabilizers flew in a perfect V-shaped formation over Tian'anmen Square in Beijing on Oct 1 during a military parade to celebrate the People's Republic of China's 70th birthday.

The first article says what @Khafee has been saying all along - the J-15 will be a very high end, lighter weight version of the Flanker series. And will have an EW variant.

Also, just thinking aloud here - since carrier borne aircraft are designed to withstand much greater shocks, their use as a land-based fighter would mean a much longer life-span, meaning lower costs of operation, maintenance and ownership.

The flexibility it would bring for PAF, is unprecedented.

I miss Alpha Bravo Charlie. Used to watch that way back when I was in Pakistan.

ISPR should make more dramas like these. There are actually some very good events that could be dramatized.
