Chinese light combat aircraft L-15B

On November 2, 2019, at the flight conference of the Chinese aircraft industry Hongdu Aircraft Industry Group (HAIG), which is being held in Nanchang, a presentation and demonstration flights of the light combat (training) aircraft L-15B, which is a modified combat version of the HAIG training and combat training aircraft, were held aircraft L-15 (JL-10).

As previously reported by bmpd colleagues, the L-15B two-seat aircraft is intended for use as a light attack fighter and a transitional combat training aircraft. Unlike the “base” L-15, the new L-15B aircraft is equipped with AI-222-25F engines developed by Zaporizhzhya Ivchenko-Progress Design Bureau and mastered by Motor Sich JSC with afterburner - afterburner version of AI-222-25 engine . Also, the L-15B aircraft should be equipped with an onboard radar (supposedly with a passive phased array), a self-defense complex, an arms control complex, including a controlled one, and have 11 external suspension nodes.
