J-15D an advanced carrier-borne electronic warfare aircraft
The Chinese Navy's carrier-borne electronic warfare (EW) aircraft, the J-15D will debut at Airshow China 2024 starting next week in Zhuhai.

The aircraft is considered a direct competitor to the American F/A-18 Growler EW aircraft that rides on U.S. aircraft carriers providing EW support to the fleet and carrier-borne aircraft.

The J-15D is designed to disrupt and suppress enemy electronic systems, enhancing the effectiveness of an aircraft carrier's air wing in modern, information-driven naval warfare.

The PLA Navy's participation in the airshow marks the first time it will showcase active-service equipment, with highlights including the J-15D, the J-15T fighter jet, Z-20J shipborne helicopter, and Z-8C transport helicopter.

The Navy will also feature the first batch of female carrier pilots and demonstrate advanced maneuvers like reverse area landings and buddy refueling.

The J-15D, a twin-seat electronic warfare aircraft, is equipped with advanced systems for electronic disruption and suppression, boosting China's aircraft carrier groups, particularly in long-range operations. The J-15D made its public debut during formation training with the J-15T fighter on oct 9 2024, according to China Central Television (CCTV).

What is the difference between the J15D and J16D ( other than carrier based optimisations like landing gear, foldable wings etc).

They seem identical to me interms of their strike, offensive and EW capabilities?

China showcases J-15D ‘Flying Shark’ naval warplane that can counter missile system​

The fourth-generation J-15D is set to make its maiden appearance at the Zhuhai air show, along with stealth fighters J-20 and J-35.​

Nov 10, 2024 07:35 AM EST

The J-15D, China's newest carrier-based fighter jet.

China’s latest carrier-based warplane, the J-15D, was publicly showcased for the first time during an adaptive training session in Zhuhai City, in South China’s Guangdong Province, on November 9.

The J-15D is a two-seat electronic warfare aircraft that integrates electronic jamming capabilities with strike functions, potentially playing a vital role in combat situations.

Described by Military Watch Magazine as the world’s “most potent carrier-based electronic attack aircraft”, the fourth-generation J-15D is equipped with advanced technology to counter radar and missile systems. The jet is also expected to enhance survivability by jamming enemy sensors, while also serving as a powerful asset for air defense suppression.

Speaking to China’s state-owned broadcaster CCTV, navy specialist Li Jian observed the J-15D represents a significant upgrade over the traditional J-15, with improvements in avionics, weapon systems, and an optimized airframe structure. These enhancements provide the J-15D with greater combat capability and better adaptability to the needs of modern aircraft carriers.

The ‘Flying Shark’​

The J-15, also known as the Flying Shark, is derived from the Soviet Su-33 and is currently deployed on China’s Liaoning and Shandong aircraft carriers. According to Pentagon reports, this two-seat aircraft is designed for long-range anti-ship and ground attacks, and is equipped with electronic intelligence-gathering pods.

Electronic warfare capabilities are crucial in modern, information-driven naval combat, making the electronic warfare aircraft a key force multiplier for an aircraft carrier’s air wing. Once sea trials are completed, the J-15D is expected to be stationed on the Fujian, China’s most advanced aircraft carrier.

Zhuhai air show​

The J-15D is soon set to feature in the country’s largest airshow, officially called the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, which will take place in Zhuhai from November 12 to 17.

The air show will showcase China’s two stealth fighters, the J-20 and the J-35, with the latter making its public debut. This makes China the second country after the US to possess two types of stealth fighters.

Furthermore, the J-15T carrier-based fighter jet, Z-9F shipborne anti-submarine helicopter, and Y-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft will be featured in static displays, alongside a range of shipborne weapon systems and maritime rescue equipment.

The event will also display the HQ-19 surface-to-air missile, the Z-9F anti-submarine helicopter, and the Y-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft. Russia’s sole stealth fighter, the Su-57, alongside the Russian Knights aerobatics team will make an appearance.

The aircraft are expected to perform maneuvers such as reverse area landing and buddy refueling. Additionally, the PLA Marine Corps and the first group of female carrier pilots are also expected to participate.

J-15 is carrier based. J-16 is land based.

This is an excellent video with English subtitle about J15 judging flight parameters it is easily top F 18 it has almost twice the speed and range of F18 higher ceiling, more potent radar, and missile

Can the reborn "Flying Shark" China's new carrier-based fighter J-15B surpass the US F/A-18E/F Super Hornet?The Chinese Navy's Liaoning and Shandong aircraft carriers recently conducted their first dual-carrier formation exercise in the South China Sea. The iconic scene was 12 J-15s and their improved J-15B flying over the fleet in a goose-shaped formation. Before the Fujian aircraft carrier and the J-35 officially enter service, the catapult-type J-15B were unexpectedly released on a large scale and is likely to have a much improved combat effectivenessCredit to "roywalker's" YouTube Channel - check out his channel for more excellent in-depth translated documentarieshttps://youtu.be/gVFnjEtKbxw?si=dd87urOGdwq3bnkS
