The Shenyang J-15 (), also known as Flying Shark (, Feisha), 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 and weapons. An unfinished Su-33 prototype, the T-10K-3, was acquired from Ukraine sometime in 2001 and is said to have been studied extensively, with development on the J-15 beginning immediately afterward. While the J-15 appears to be structurally based on the Su-33, the indigenous fighter features Chinese technologies as well as avionics from the J-11

| - Development of the J-15 began in the year 2001, as China acquired the Su-33 prototype, T-10K-3, from Ukraine. The aircraft was analyzed extensively and was used as the basis for the J-15. The first time information about the J-15 came to public was in 2010 through Col. Igor Korotchenko of the Russian Defense Ministry. He stated that the J-15 is a Su-33 "clone" and not a stealthy fighter resulting from the J-XX program, as it was thought before and he also said that the J-15 will be unable to achieve the same performance characteristics of the Su-33. In 2009 China failed with purchasing Russian Su-33, but negotations had already collapsed in 2006 as Russia had discovered that China is developing a Su-27SK variant called Shenyang J-11B, being a direct violation of intellectual property agreements. The first flight of the J-15 took place on 31st August 2009. It is powered by two Shenyang WS-10 engines with a power of 126 kN each. The first pictures of the aircraft´s first flight were unveiled in July 2010, showing that the J-15 has the same airframe design as the Su-33 but with different avionics and electronics. It is expected that the J-15 will be operated on the Liaoning aircraft carrier. According to China Signpost the J-15 will outperform all Western fighters aerodynamically and kinematically, but with the exception of the American F-22 Raptor.
