I came across a photo of a J-15 possibly in flight testing. What's interesting is that the nozzle of its engine seems to be angled, which could emphasize thrust vectoring (3D or 2D?).

Here is it:

So far we don't know what kind of engine the production aircraft will be using. It may be the WS-10B/G variant or it could be the Russian Al-31FN M3.

Military official Lei Qiang also stated that the J-15 might include thrust vectoring.

China its capable of making a 5th gen engine, why should a 2D/3D VT 4th gen engine be difficult to produce?... its not like China its building the Kaveri :lol:

Hmm now that I look at it it does look like cloth covers. Oh well.

Surprisingly, it was on a Western defense blog. I didn't notice it until a person commented on the engine nozzles.
