China's J-15T "Super" Shark - What should we expect?

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Title updated to reflect official designation as J-15T. Looking forward to seeing it at Zhuhai.

[@davidmiller5028]

New engines AESA Radar new airframe built from lighter composites. CATBAR. And maybe TVC.

[@Dunnay48]

Apparently this version has been officially named j-15T just like the CATOBAR prototype for some reason

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Hi Dunnay48, yes I saw that. What it is called is not important (but is good to know and we should use the correct name). What is important is its capabilities. Maybe I will discover more when I'm at the Zhuhai Airshow next week.

Another top tier video (i haven't started watching yet)

[@nikolatasev4948]

Great video! It would be interesting to explore how developments in one nation influenced developments in other. For example, I suppose improvements in Chinese long range missiles (AA and anti-ship) forced USA to switch their first carrier drones from ISR/Strike to tanker missions. MQ-25 Stingrays should extend the combat ranges of Navy aircraft quite a bit. And perhaps this pushed China to increase launch payload for J-15s, increasing their range in turn.

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Thank you. Yes, developments is one country normally lead to counter-developments in another. The carrier air group example you give is a good one.

[@mdmotaled3318]

Thank you

[@Strategy_Analysis]

No worries.

[@chrisdoulou8149]

Couple of errors. The radar will likely be a GAN, while the WS-10B sits somewhere around the 145kN range (most China watchers put it somewhere between 142kN & 147kN although the 150kN number has been given however there’s not as much evidence to support that number).

[@李大人-m7p]

There is also a maximum thrust of 132kN, equivalent to f110-ge-129

[@Strategy_Analysis]

References for these?

@@Strategy_Analysis About to take the Mrs for dinner so you’ll have to wait, but read up the works of Andreas Rupprecht in regards to the engine, he considers it mid 140’s and he’s pretty much the ducks nuts on anything J-11/15/16 related.

[@Strategy_Analysis]

@@chrisdoulou8149 Yes, aware of his work and have read some of it. I have checked Western and Chinese sources. Could well be as you say. Enjoy dinner.

[@thomaszhang3101]

1:24 this is no the J-15B, since its radome isn’t oval and its front wheel cover isn’t two piece. This one looks like a normal J-15 modified to test catapult take off.

[@李大人-m7p]

It also has an electronic warfare version, J-15D

[@Strategy_Analysis]

There is an EW version of the J-15A, as I mention in the brief. Whether there will be an EW version of the J-15B remains to be seen. As I say in the briefing, I would expect there to be.

[@李大人-m7p]

@@Strategy_Analysis Similar to J-16D

@@李大人-m7p I would expect so.

Good analysis....A refreshing change from Western norm that rubbishes Chinese and Russian military hardware as inferior to those of the West...

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Thank you. I try to be objective, although that doesn't help with the algorithm.

[@賴志偉-d7h]

@@Strategy_Analysis The way to deal with algorithm is not to deal with it. People paid to much attention to it I think.

[@buildmotosykletist1987]

Obviously they are inferior to the West. Just look at the J15 and J20, they are decades behind.

[@ronmaximilian6953]

The limited range of the F/A-18E/F is a big problem. And now, China has a credible threat to US carriers a thousand miles away from their shore, even if you consider the anti-ship ballistic missiles to be propaganda. The US Congress and Navy had better prioritize the naval Next Generation Air Dominance fighter and should reconsider a long range strike UCAV.

Flankers with external fuel tanks are almost as rare as a unicorn. We are more likely to see a felon with external fuel tanks than Flankers with fuel external tanks

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Yes, rare indeed but likely a necessity for them operating off a carrier.

[@NoName-ds5uq]

It may have a LPI radar, but it will still stick out like dogs balls on the radars of the E-7(I don’t recall the radar designation) or Hobart Class with the SPY-1D. Or F-35 IRST if in EMCON S.

@@fatdoi003 incorrect. Just because the pl17 has a longer range doesn’t mean it’s going to threaten fighter sized maneuverable targets. F35 is more advanced than j35 with block 4 upgrade.

[@fatdoi003]

@@ryankubinski8789 i'm not sure how you can conclude F35 is more advance than J35 and aim260 better than pl15... my comparison is PLAN will have a balance of a air superiority fighter of J35 and a multirole J15B and EW J15D vs USAF 2x multirole of F35 + F18E/F and EW F18G

[@ryankubinski8789]

@@fatdoi003 I conclude aim260 is more advanced than pl15 because the American military is developing it to be better than the pl15, so I do not have proof but officials have said it will give them the advantage back. The f35 is probably better than the j35 because America still has the edge in some key technologies but that one I am convinced of less and the two are likely very comparable. However, the f35 has been produced in much greater numbers so far

Think the JH-7A pic carrying the YJ-12 is photoshopped. As far as I know only the H-6 carry them (up to 6). I haven't seen J-16 carrying YJ-12 even some literature mention it can. All J-16 in maritime strike fit out have been seen to carry YJ-83.

[@Jiaqi-p5b]

JH-7A has a anti-surface role now so I’m not surprised it carry the yj-12
