J-15

A People's Liberation Army Navy's J-15 carrier-based fighter jet crashed during a training flight, according to footage captured by eyewitnesses. Local sources confirmed that the aircraft went down during routine exercises, although the precise details regarding the location and circumstances remain unconfirmed. "One J-15 fighter aircraft crashed during training. The pilot successfully ejected and was unharmed," local reports stated. Authorities have indicated that there were no reported casualties or injuries resulting from the crash. Preliminary assessments suggest the crashed jet was an earlier, standard version of the J-15, rather than the more recent J-15T or J-15D variants. Reports also indicate that the fighter did not take off from an aircraft carrier, based on the crash location. 訓練中の事故でJ-15戦闘機1機が墜落した。パイロットは脱出し無事であった。 現状墜落に伴う死傷者は確認されていない。 墜落した機体の所属はまだ確認されていないが機体はJ-15TやDではなく旧型の無印であり墜落場所からして空母から発艦した機体ではない。 https://t.co/sHPesgaGXA pic.twitter.com/ptQkpLb42g — お砂糖wsnbn (@sugar_wsnbn) March 15, 2025 The J-15 is China's primary carrier-based fighter, originally developed from the Russian Sukhoi Su-33. It serves as the main combat aircraft aboard China's aircraft carriers, including the Liaoning and Shandong. Equipped to carry a wide range of armaments, the J-15 supports missions involving air superiority, naval strike, and ground attack roles. Its introduction significantly expanded the operational capabilities of China's naval aviation forces.
