Actually that's possible when u factor in that Liaoning employs STOBAR and j15 is a heavy aircraft in itself and will be hard pressed to take off with full weapons and fuel load .

Not aware of the range though with full load, though employing tankers / buddy refullers will solve the range problem to a good extent.

With CATOBAR carriers j15 will not have a problem

Lol they r churning out carriers like pancakes so I will not loose sleep over the range issue with full load.

That's smart, Chinese carriers with nuclear propulsion, a dedicated CBG for IOR could be a matter of headache.

New J-15s are still not shown with heavy loads, few years ago a news agency alleged to Jiang Zemin faction reported that J-15 can barely reach 200 kms if it takes off with full load.

Without sabotaging the project, Chinkistaan continued it and here we are giving thumbs down to Naval LCA.

Huh !

India withdraws from FGFA project.

According to Jane's Defence Weekly the Indian Air Force stopped the already 11-year old collaborative programme with Russia for development of the so-called FGFA programme (Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft). The main reason for ending the collaboration are differences over its development costs and technological capabilities.

The FGFA is/was a joint project between Russia and India to develop a fifth-generation fighter aircraft. It is a derivative project of the Russian Sukhoi Su-57 Frazor that is being developed for the Russian Air Force. The Indian version was supposed to be a two-seater for pilot and co-pilot/weapon systems operator (WSO).

Its good that Ind/ia has withdrawn from FGFA project atleast it would help save funds , A heavy 5th generation fighter can wait but lower tier junks must be flushed out.

What do you say?
