Chinese Trainer JL-9, L-15, JL-10, CJ-7 News & Discussions

Yes ... here it is visible too, even if that image is really baaaaaad.

Strange is a bit, that this particular aircraft no. 12 - as seen in that recent images (from a video) above - was spotted already in June 2015....

If so, I am very sure. Zambian main purpose of this L-15 is not to be used as trainer. They will used it like a F-16 for their AF.

Yes for sure, the L-15 is for these countries some sort of mini-multirole type a calls below the JF-17 ... and as such a good sign, that the first export customer already chose that version, since for most of these Air Forces a L-15 as a jet-trainer is truly some sort of overkill.

However I can't wait for the first PLAAF one....

With high level of media exposure, we shall not wait that long. Definitely within this year.

Can L15 be modified to have two vertical stabilizers ? it look weird to me the current design,.a twin engines should have twin tails.
Nah, I disagree

How do you know it is for export? And, if so, any idea which client/state?


To admit, as far as I understand (+ a big piece of guesswork), then there are currently two "versions" on the production line right now. several have been spotted with this pitot-less radome (maybe fitted with that small PESA) as they were presented as the Zambian aircraft, while several others have a pitot.

If these are for Zambia, I don't know ...

These are L-15Bs and they are not for export.

O.k. ... always nice to learn something each day.

So I am wrong with my observation, that a few have a pitot while other don't ?

But if there's an L-15B then there must be a L-15A ?? ... but I thought the PLAAF version is designated JL-10 ??? ... or is the JL-10 = L-15B and L-15A is the export version for Zambia.

Thanks in advance,

L-15A is the export version will be a fair guess:-)
