China has created a monster: the J-15B, which is now terrifying the US Navy.
The J-15B is a modernized carrier-based fighter of the Chinese Navy, based on the Soviet Flanker and redesigned from the ground up. Domestic VS-10 engines, an AESA radar, PL-15 missiles with a range of over 200 km, and a digital cockpit—all of this has transformed this "Soviet clone" into a 4.5+ generation aircraft capable of challenging the F/A-18 Super Hornet and Rafale M. This video provides a full analysis of how China took a 1980s airframe and transformed it into one of the most dangerous carrier-based fighters in the world.
