Not sure about that.
But anyways, you can see the political complexities of this choice.
There is no clear path.
Perhaps that is the reason for the delay.
The Rohingya situation changed the political equation of the previous plan's of BAF.
They were probably gonna go for Russian (i.e. Yak-130 prior to Flankers) and Chinese aircraft and may still do so.
But it gave them pause to think about things.
Ok, L-15Bs with J-10s would be a great combo for use against India and Myanmar. L-15 performs similar role to JF-17, and J-10 performs air superiority role. L-15Bs, and J-10s are more than enough for a short conflict with MM which it will be, and not a full blown war. MM has old Mig-29s, old Q-7s, and, old F-7s that can't compete with J-10s or L-15Bs and would be dispatched relatively quickly. Chinese sanctions will take at least a few months to kick in at which point the conflict will be over. Intl community will negotiate and peace treaty will be signed.
Bottom part isn't for you specifically
The modern cockpit is covered by a large glass canopy and offers space, comfort and superior all-round field of vision for the pilots. The aircraft is also equipped with a three-axis digital fly-by wire system, which allows the pilots to simulate the flight characteristics of some of the most modern fighter jets.
The extended nose section of L-15B differentiates it from the L-15 trainer. The nose section houses a passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radar.
The X-band PESA radar can guide air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles to a maximum range of 111km.
The trainer integrates a radar warning receiver (RWR) on the vertical stabiliser. The nose also features fin antennae for an identification friend or foe (IFF) system. The L-15B can also be equipped with dedicated electronic warfare jamming pods.
The advanced avionics aboard the JL-15B ensure the student pilots to handle the complex digital cockpits on modern Chinese fighters.
The aircraft can carry a weapon load of 3,500kg across nine hard-points. Each wing holds three hard-points, while each wing tip accommodates a single hard-point. The under-fuselage of the aircraft also holds a hard-point for weapons carriage.
The L-15B can be armed with a range of weapon systems such as the PL-10 infrared-homing, short-range, air-to-air missiles,
PL-12 active, radar-guided, beyond visual-range, air-to-air missiles, and PL-8 infrared-guided, short-range, air-to-air missiles, as well as LT-2 laser and LS-6 precision-guided bombs.
The L-15B combat trainer is powered by two Ivchenko Progress AI-222-25F turbofan engines with afterburner. The engines are equipped with a full-authority digital engine control (FADEC) system.
The power-plant provides a
maximum speed of Mach 1.4 and an operational range of 2,600km, which can be further extended with the integration of fuel drop tanks.
