But this is an old image from June 2014 together with this one from May 2014:

JL-9A 423 + hook again - 3.5.14.jpg.jpg


If I'm not mistaken, the tailhooks were removed because the airframe couldn't handle the stress of arrested landings.

PLAAF JL-10 with serial number of 78437, the 98th JL-10 on assembly line.

Today (April 23, 2017) is also the 66th anniversary of the founding of the HAIG or Hongdu Aviation Industry Group, based in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province.

L-15B fighter trainer unveiled (中国航空工业洪都最新型L15B攻击战斗教练机闪亮登场)


Interesting, but esp. this image is very much a mock-up only.


Can L15b provides CAS like USAAF A10 thunderbolt?


Surely not, role-like maybe but surely not capability-wise. Alone the A-10's cannon and armour is a league of its own.

Here it is ... + afterburner engines it seems.

.. but wait; with already the PLAAF-symbol applied with the PLAAF introduce this version too - maybe as a Q-5 successor ?? - ... I thought it is an export version.
