China Built A Carrier Fighter. One 'Fatal Flaw' Kills Its Own Pilots

You are looking at the J-15 "Flying Shark." It has folding wings, aggressive canards, and heavy-payload hardpoints. It looks like a modern superpower’s dominance fighter. But the moment the landing gear touches the deck, you discover the truth: You are flying a stolen Soviet reject.

In carrier aviation, the enemy missile isn't the only thing that kills you—bad code does.

You might have copied the hardware bolt-by-bolt, but if the flight control software doesn't match the airframe, physics says you don't possess a weapon; you possess a 30-ton coffin flying in close formation.

In this video, we hunt down the "Widow Maker Glitch"—the fatal software error that snaps the nose vertical during landing. We expose the "T-10K Trap," the reality of building a fleet from a scrapped Ukrainian prototype, and the missing lines of code that turned a national ambition into a pilot’s nightmare.

In this video: 💻 The Suicide Glitch: Why a 50-millisecond lag in the Flight Control System renders the J-15 unrecoverable. 🏗️ The Prototype Trap: Identifying the "T-10K" (The broken test plane China bought) versus the "Su-33" (The finished plane they thought they were copying). 📉 The Heavyweight Lie: Why the J-15 is too heavy to launch with full fuel, making it a "Toothless Shark." ⚰️ The Zhang Chao Incident: How a single "Pitch-Up" error killed a top ace and exposed the fleet’s secret.

👇 The Verdict: Is the J-15 actually a threat, or just a "Flopping Fish"? If you were on the deck, would you trust the stolen clone or the U.S. Super Hornet? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
