J-15 (English: Jmur15, Chinese nickname: flying shark "flying shark", English: Flying Shark, NATO code: flank D, English: Flanker-D) is a single-seat twin-engine shipborne fighter that China acquired the prototype Su-33 fighter plane T-10K-3 from Ukraine based on the domestic J-11 fighter. J-15 belongs to the improved fourth-generation fighter, that is, the fourth-and-a-half-generation fighter. The J-15 is very similar to the Russian-made Su-33 in appearance, but the J-15 incorporates the technology of the J-11B. On the basis of the J-11, canard wings are added, two high-thrust engines are installed, the wing folding is realized, and the lifting device, take-off and landing device, arresting hook and other systems are newly designed, so that the aircraft can maintain excellent operational performance. The flight characteristics required for landing are realized. On December 24, 2015, a new batch of J-15 carrier-based fighters conducted ship-to-aircraft fusion training in a certain sea area of the Navy, and pilots completed multiple subjects such as touching the ship and blocking the landing. In the 2019 National Day parade, a naval shipborne aviation unit equipped with J-15 carrier-based aircraft has flown over the parade ground for the fifth time.
