J-15 specs

[Reashot]

Hello there, Huitong, I've been interested in your writings on the J-15. I found a couple of specs on the J-15 which are rumored to be from official sources, and was posted by a person who claims he has contacts within the GAD and PLAN

Speed: M2.17
Radius: 1270km
Load: 6.5tons
Wingspan: 14.7m
Folded span: 8.4m


Upcoming variants include the AESA-equipped J-15B (2014), J-15 for buddy refuel, and J-15G (EW variant). I also saw this article which claims that the J10C and J15B will serve the PLAN in 2016. What do you think of it?

Sorry to step in but to quote from wantchinatimes.com is probably as unreliable as to quote from the German BILD in terms of international politics or economy !

If You take a look at what BS is published by them (regarding secret super-stealthy J-25 and so on) I can only wonder for what some authors get their money.

Again no offence against You, but in regard to wantchinatimes.com please be very, very careful.
