#1 The J-15 is also powered by the Chinese-built Taihang (WS-10) turbofan engine.

Couldn't quiet reverse engineer the Russian equivalent and that's a problem area.

#2 nice, except the Hornet C/D is the regular garden variety version; didn't get the 'super' moniker until the E/F came along.
wonder how reliable the WS-10 is....
