A prototype of J-15 with arresting hook retracted beneath the redesigned tail cone has been spotted at Shanyang AircraftCompany . With all the attention paid to the Naval Aviation building up recently, it might not be a coincidence that the PLAN is not building any more destroyers. They just don’t have a bottomless funding as others have suggested.

The J-15 Flying Shark is manufactured by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. It is a carrier-based fighter aircraft, and is believed to be the Chinese upgraded version with advanced avionics and AESA radar of the Russian Sukhoi Su-33.
