These upgrades are meant to put the J-15 on par with the U.S. F-35s but before we get there, let's look back at the origins of the fighter jet.The J-15 is a key combat plane for the Chinese military, and there are at least four variants of the aircraft that are being developed today.
said in its report, effectively making it an unlicensed copy of the Russian aircraft. China has now been working on powering the J-15 with its indigenous WS-10 engines.Experts believe that the Chinese upgrades on the J-15s have made them much superior to their Russian counterparts, on which they are based. On the battlefield, the origin of the aircraft is irrelevant. What really matters is who would come out on top if the J-15 faced off with U.S. fighter jets.
Even with all its upgrades, the J-15 can only be classified as a fourth-generation plus fighter aircraft and lacks the advanced technology that the U.S. fifth-generation fighters possess today. With the inferiorly powered WS-10 engines, the J15s might even find it hard to beat the fourth-generation F/A-18 of the U.S.
