China Upgrades J-15t Carrier Jet for Catapult Launches on Next-Gen Carriers
Chinese engineers have overhauled the J-15T carrier-based fighter with reinforced landing gear and a catapult tow bar, optimizing it for the electromagnetic catapults aboard the soon-to-be-commissioned Fujian aircraft carrier. Not only that, but J 15T also features better AESA radar, a more advanced missile, PL-15, and a greater use of carbon fiber, resulting in a higher takeoff weight and a more powerful engine, WS-10 B.So J 15 T is the real McCoy, that is why you see more and more J 15 T on all three carriers, replacing J 15, now relegated to training purposes

What a beauty, J-15T is much underestimated, it is no longer the hasty project J-15 anymore, largely overhauled and having one of if not the best sensor and avionic among all Chinese 4.5th gen jets.

Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy J-15 carrier based fighter operating from the aircraft carrier Liaoning formed a radar lock on a Japanese F-15 fighter over international waters southeast of Okinawa Island on December 6. Japanese Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi quickly confirmed the incident, with the Japanese government issuing a protest through diplomatic and defence channels. This was the first time Japan publicly disclosed an incident in which a Chinese military aircraft directed its radar at a Japanese aircraft. The incident follows a significant rise in tensions between Tokyo and Beijing, after Japan’s new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, threatened to intervene militarily in the ongoing conflict between the People’s Republic of China on the Chinese mainland, and the Republic of China based on Taiwan, which have for decades remained in a state of civil war.
J-15B Fighters and J-15D Electronic Attack Jets on Chinese Carrier Liaoning
The Liaoning is one of three aircraft carries currently in service in the People’s Liberation Army Navy, and was confirmed to be sailing near Kubashima Island, west of Okinawa, on December 5. The following day the aircraft carrier passed between Okinawa and Miyakojima Island along with three destroyers, before proceeding into the Pacific Ocean. The Liaoning and its sister ship the Shandong were revealed in November 2024 to have significantly improved the capabilities of their air wings with the integration of new J-15B ‘4+ generation’ fighters and supporting J-15D electronic attack jets. The J-15B is far superior to the baseline J-15s that first joined the fleet in the early 2010s, with improvements including higher use of more advanced composite materials for a lighter and more durable airframe, use of a more advanced AESA radar, and integration of advanced stealth coatings, and use of some of the world's most sophisticated avionics and electronic warfare systems.
While the J-15B a close contender for the title of the world’s most capable pre-fifth generation fighter class, the F-15J by contrast is one of the oldest fourth generation fighter types still in service anywhere in the world. The fighters first entered service in 1981, and were based closely a design that first joined the U.S. Air Force six years prior in 1975. The Japanese fleet still largely relies on AIM-7 air-to-air missiles for beyond visual range combat, which are considered close to three decades beyond the Chinese PL-15 and PL-16 that equip the J-15B in their sophistication. The Japanese aircraft not only carry much smaller radars, but these rely on mechanically scanned arrays that have long since been considered obsolete, and are relatively straightforward to jam for modern electronic warfare suites.

The outcome of a clash between Chinese J-15B and Japanese F-15J fighters over the Pacific would be highly one sided, although Japan could potentially seek to counterbalance Chinese advantages by deploying E-767 Airborne Warning and Control Systems to bridge the discrepancy in situations awareness. Although China’s new aircraft carrier the Fujian deploys KJ-600 Airborne Warning and Control Systems, the air wing of the Liaoning does not. Nevertheless, the age of the E-767, which uses a radar from the 1980s, seriously limits the degree of support it can provide, particularly compared to modern systems such as the E-7 and Chinese KJ-500. The system is expected to be relatively straightforward to evade should the Chinese fighters be deployed with support from J-15D electronic attack jets, which were developed specifically to conceal fighter units from radar detection in much the same way as the latest variants of the U.S. Navy E/A-18G.

Oh goodie we now have EM frequency J-15's use to lock on aircraft.

China will never shot-down Japanese fighter jet during peace time. Chinese will not play aggressive role.

Reminds me after India-Pakistan figher jets war, India said they have Chinese PL-15 air-to-air missile.

This is just a warning. China is training together with Pakistan. During the May war, Pakistan shot down Indian aircraft, and the Indian planes received no lock-on warning. This proves that if the Chinese military wanted to shoot down Japanese planes, the Japanese planes would not detect being targeted. The Chinese military is conducting training, and the training locations have already been announced. If Japanese planes fly into the warning zones to spy on the Chinese military exercises, it is a dangerous action.

That's right. This American friend may not know, there is a technology called electronic frequency hopping and a tactic called A shoots, B guides. It's impossible to determine whether the Japanese plane was locked onto by a J-15. What use is it to obtain the electromagnetic frequency of a J-15? By the time you realize you are being locked onto, you might have already been shot down. The only function is that the pilot knows they were shot down by a J-15.
The Chinese most likely use the same frequency band as other: 8-12 GHz (3.75-2.5cm). That’s why the Japanese pilot knows when his jet is locked on.
