In recent times, there has been much debate about whether our J-15 infringes on the Su-33.
To start with, there's no ground to claim they are related, but before addressing their connection, let's delve into how the J-15 came into being.
When we recovered our aircraft carrier years ago, the issue of carrier-based aircraft was immediately considered. Initially, there were three proposals:
Firstly, developing a carrier-based aircraft based on the J-10. Secondly, developing one based on the J-11. Thirdly, directly importing the Su-33 from Russia.
After thorough research, it was found that the J-10, in many aspects, was not suitable for carrier-based operations, so the first option was ruled out. Moreover, given the time constraints in building our own carriers, the immediate solution was to consider the Russian Su-33.

Does this mean we infringed on the Su-33's intellectual property? Absolutely not.
By this time, the Su-33 had long ceased production, with even the Russian Navy having transitioned to the MiG-29K for carrier operations. Russia was also facing challenges; restarting the Su-33 production line was prohibitively expensive, and any potential deal would exclude technology transfer. Therefore, after careful evaluation, negotiations regarding the Su-33 carrier-based fighter production line fell through.
It was during this period that China's visit to Ukraine's ski-jump deck simulation center revealed the T10K-3 (the prototype of the Su-33, assigned to Ukraine after the Soviet Union's dissolution), along with two or three sets of tailhooks used for Su-27K testing.
Without hesitation, these were purchased.
Utilizing the foundation of the J-11 and the technology from the T10K prototype, we began our own development!
(Legendary T10K)
The T10-K is one of the prototypes of the entire Su-27 family, with predecessors like the T10-1, T10-2, T10-S, and T10-24, among others.
Ultimately, the production version of the T10-K naval carrier became the Su-33, with the exact model of the Su-33 prototype being the T10-K-2. The prototype we acquired was the T10-K-3, which underwent extensive carrier-based flight testing, making it a more mature version compared to the Su-33 prototype.
Therefore, both the J-15 and the Su-33 originate from the Soviet-era T10K prototype, without any basis for claims of infringement or imitation.

Upon learning of this, Russian experts believed that China could only dismantle the T10K-3 prototype to study its structure, measure its dimensions, aerodynamic shape, and obtain basic data.
However, the idea that cloning the Su-33 carrier-based fighter from an immobile T10K sample was absolutely impossible.
To their surprise, we completed the development process in less than two years.
In 2010, China's first carrier-based fighter conducted ski-jump takeoff and landing tests at Yanliang Flight Test Center, achieving excellent results and a successful flight.
Named: J-15!
Our country also achieved a technological leap from zero to carrier-based aircraft!
In fact, the J-15 is superior to the Su-33.
Onboard radar and avionics systems:
The J-15's onboard computer operates at over 1 billion operations per second, integrating a comprehensive avionics control system using the 1553B data bus, active phased array radar, automatic target detection and tracking, synthetic aperture imaging, and other functions.
The Su-33's TS100 onboard computer operates at only 170,000 operations per second, its radar lacks the capability to track and attack more than two targets, has no data link system, and lacks a synthetic aperture imaging system.
There are also weapon systems:
The J-15 can be equipped with all mainstream weapons of the Su-27 and Su-30 families and domestic anti-ground, anti-air, and anti-ship weapons, including R27, R73, R77, PL8, PL12 air-to-air missiles, Eagle Strike 8 and Eagle Strike 91 ship-to-air missiles, FT2 anti-radiation missiles, KD88 air-to-ground missiles, directly equipped with SS-N-22 anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, buddy refueling systems, and electronic warfare pods.
The Su-33 can only be equipped with R27 and R73 missiles, cannot mount R77 missiles, and can only install the SS-N-22 air-launched version of the Kh40 anti-ship missile, with only one missile mountable.
This analogy suggests that the J-15 and SU-33 are like two different sons born from the same father;
It's just that the J-15 has developed better and more impressively.
This revised article maintains the essence of the original while providing detailed expansions on key developments, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the J-15 and Su-33 origins and capabilities.
