J15T-2 (1)

Whats this dome under the airbrake ? also will it have stealth coatings modeled ?

I’m surprised they never tied to cram a tail radar in that tail thing like the Russians keep trying. What would the point be for a tail radar?

Perhaps it’s some equivalent of MAWS or EODAS?

For the su-27m it’s maws, for su57 it’s ecm + likely maws and unlikely, able to be used as as stand alone radar. But j-15 has ir sensors for its maws on its ass anyways so it really has no need for a radar on its butt

my guess is some anti IR missile thing like SU39 has i dont think its maws as the maws is on tail boom

probably will artfically buff the CMs to put it at a higher BR cause the missiles are too good for that range which seems reasonable maybe theyll give it a BOL pod

J15 is just a modified SU33 theres no reason not to switch out the AL31 for a WS10 as then china can make the parts instead of russia WS10 is upgraded domestic replacement for AL31 so if J11B can fit them so can J15

Improved variant of J-15 incorporating CATOBAR launch capability, WS-10 engines, modern fifth-generation avionics, AESA radar, new airframes, stealth coatings, and compatibility to launch PL-10 and PL-15 missiles. First seen in September 2016, with two prototypes built.[25][27][30] In active service as of October 2024.[52] Previously referred to as J-15B in media.[30]

aircraft with WS10
Major applications Chengdu J-10C

Su-33 can carry a chaff pod in exchange of one missile, idk if the j15 gets anything like that
