NoNo longer any doubts ... but still the question: Is there a PLAAF-requirement for that version ?
Close up pictures of JL-9
Hongdu have painted 八一 on L15 even for the 1st plane in 2006But why does it show the PLAAF symbol already, while other JL-10 in grey behind do not ?

Can China produce AL-222K-25F by our own?L-15B attack variant IFF antenna, which is similar to F-16

A brief description of Hongdu L-15B light attack aircraft
The Hongdu L-15 Falcon (猎鹰) [Pinyin: liè yīng] is a Chinese supersonic training and light attack aircraft being developed by Nanchang-based Hongdu Aviation Industry Group (HAIG) to fulfill the PLAAF and PLAN lead-in fighter trainer (LIFT) requirements.
The model L-15B is an upgraded attack variant equipped with a pair of Ivchenko Progress AI-222K-25F jet engines with an afterburner, giving it a maximum speed of 1.4 Mach, MTOW (Maximum Take-Off Weight): 11,600 kgs, 9 hardpoints with 11 pylons, 5 IFF antennae, a PESA (passive electronically scanned array) multifunctional radar with a detection range 75 km, and a 360-degree MAW (missile approach warning) system on its vertical tail. Its prototype rolled out in April 2017.
It is a reasonable guess.Thanks ...
Maybe a stupid question, but how likely is this new L-15B simply the original no. 06 prototype updated with the latest modifications?
