The Shenyang J-15 (Chinese: 歼-15) also known as Flying Shark (Chinese: 飞鲨 Fēishā) is a carrier-based fighter aircraft in development by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and the 601 Institute for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy’s aircraft carriers. Rumors initially claimed the aircraft was to be a semi-stealth variant yet later reports indicate the aircraft is based on the Russian-designed Sukhoi Su-33 and is fitted with domestically produced radars engines and weapons.
