Interesting ... any info on its current status ? I think the first prototype was already painted some time ago and a second yellow bird was spotted in October 2014 + a third (or the same) in September 2015.
Any info on how many are build so far ... when will it become operational ??

Just a crude attempt to deduct a production rate, even if I'm not sure if all images were up-to-date !

Anyway, ...I just picked up the "oldest" image I know for each aircraft and marked the biggest span in bolt:

100 - 22.4.14
101 - 2.5.14
102 - 2.12.13
103 - 2.12.13
104 - 19.5.14
105 - 22.5.14
106 - 20.3.15
107 - 1.10.14
108 - 1.10.14
109 - 12.11.14
... seem to be 10 aircraft between December 2013 and November 2014 = 10 J-15 in 12 months

110 - 5.9.15
111 - 12.10.15
112 - 23.9.15
113 - 3.9.15
114 - 12.10.15
115 - 12.6.16
116 - 16.8.16
117 - 16.5.16
118 - 31.11.16
119 - 30.11.16
120 - 15.12.16
... seem to be 11 aircraft between September 2015 and December 2016 = 11 J-15 in 16 months

I re-did my production rate calculation ... and the result – especially if mated with the c/ns – is interesting, since it fits nicely:


Batch 01:

No. 100 = c/n 0101 - 22.4.14
No. 101 = c/n 0102 - 2.5.14
No. 102 = c/n 0103 - 2.12.13
No. 103 = c/n 0104 - 2.12.13
No. 104 = c/n 0105 - 19.5.14
No. 105 = c/n 0106 - 22.5.14
No. 106 = c/n 0107 - 20.3.15
No. 107 = c/n 0108 - 1.10.14
No. 108 = c/n 0109 - 1.10.14
No. 109 = c/n 0110 - 12.11.14
... so these are 10 aircraft between December 2013 and November 2014 = 10 J-15 in 12 months (maybe less)


Batch 02:

No. 110 = c/n 0201 - 5.9.15
No. 111 = c/n 0202 - 12.10.15
No. 112 = c/n 0203 - 23.9.15
No. 113 = c/n 0204 - 3.9.15
No. 114 = c/n 0205 - 12.10.15
No. 115 = c/n 0206 - 12.6.16
No. 116 = c/n 0207 - 16.8.16
No. 117 = c/n 0208 - 16.5.16 ... reportedly lost
No. 118 = c/n 0209 - 31.11.16
No. 119 = c/n 0210 - 30.11.16
No. 120 = c/n 0211 - 15.12.16
... so these are 11 aircraft between September 2015 and December 2016 = 11 J-15 in 16 months (maybe less)


Would be interesting is the batch 01 J-16 fit exactly into this break of J-15-production, how many are produced and if the J-11B and BS production is continuing at a second line in parallel.
