is this a SEAD or EW variant?
would be very confusing if they ended up meeting Indian Su-30MKIs one day.
Is it just me or do those underwing pods look beefier than J-16D's pods? If you ask me, it is prolly an improved version of the same pod.OMG !!! The biggest surprise besides the fact that the J-35A today was another prototype, not only the J-15D revealed, but even as an operational aircraft and even more important: THe J-15T shown is the 31st Batch 02 aircraft

Will they have a version that controls drone? How many more surprises will China bring before the Air Show officially opens?Is it just me or do those underwing pods look beefier than J-16D's pods? If you ask me, it is prolly an improved version of the same pod.

In the air you have to be close enough to see.There are enough differences between the Su-30MKI and J-15D to discriminate between them. The painscheme alone, the shorter tailsting and tailhook and at least the wingtip pods. As the EW pods are probably standard outfit for this variant there should be no confusion to the trained eye.
Nice , where you get them from?. Also what are the weight for the landing and stall speedSu-33
Take-off speed 250 km/h
landing speed 235 km/h
stall speed 140 km/h
glide path 4 degrees
Looks like it crashed shortly after take-off/before landing(?) presumably due to mechanical issues?The PLAN NA lost a J-15 on Hainan today, but the pilot is safe

I have a vague impression of those accidents, but fortunately, this plane crash only resulted in the destruction of some pumpkins, a silver lining in the misfortune.Reminds of the twin crashes at Le Bourget airshow: MiG-29 in 1989 and Su-30 in 1999.
That got me thinking, should the landing gear automatically deploy a while after ejection to slow an aircraft down so it causes slightly less damage?Looks like it crashed shortly after take-off/before landing(?) presumably due to mechanical issues?
Looks like the landing gear is still down you can see it moments before the J-15 crashed. So it could be mechanical problems snne. Good for the pilot that he managed to eject.

Glad he can go home to his family and hope nobody else was hurt in the maelstrom.
It looks like it was tumbling. Also about the engines I don't think even old model j-15 fighters like this one use al-31 engines anymore.
So, it was a touch & go or an aborted landing followed by a flight departure, supposedly from the imbalance of lift.
Picture shows flaps in landing position with one flap missing. So, it was a touch & go or an aborted landing followed by a flight departure, supposedly from the imbalance of lift.

Starboard wing flap appears sectionned.
Actually, there was something wrong with the quality of the photo, and the plane did not lose anything.这里:

Sorry but I don't bite it.
