Given this small video and two - eventually three - identified serials and construction numbers my guess was wrong:


c/n 0108 = 07 ?? (was formerly no. 107- not very clear in the background)
c/n 0209 = 18 (was formerly no. 118)
c/n 0211 = 20 (was formerly no. 120)

But this leaves the question on what happened to the former no. 100, is this now '00' - IMO unlikely - or has it become the new '24'?

And what's written under the c/n what looks like 'HIIIII20'?

J-15s seen for the first time with KD-88 LACM (in the foreground) together with the rgular guidance pod and another J-15 carrying a YJ-91/YJ-91A (?).

Just noticed, that @huitong has updated his site:

...
The latest rumor (November 2019) suggested that the 03 batch has been built.

Did anyone notice this too and who spread this rumour first?

Today another update... he says there is a number #124.

Does anyone remember an image of this aircraft?

There was no photo of #124 because the 24 aircrafts are #100 to #123.

Exactly my point and question. Even if I dont have the exact allocation of all numbers, there seems to be a pattern when renumbering the former 100 - 123 to the new 01 - 24. Anyway since I respect Huitong as reliable and he directly mentiones a number 124 I'm highly excited but also suspicious...

From what I've heard we haven't seen any new J-15 at SAC since some time, but it seems as if there might be a new J-15 in yellow primer on 7 October (however the satellite image is of so low quality, that it also could be an a J-15D that's still hanging out there). Otherwise the most recent image of SAC dated early November shows 5 yellow Flankers but they clearly have no canards and are therefore most likely J-16s.
