[World Military Situation Observation No. 265] Recently, according to an article published by the Russian Military Industry Network, it can be seen from the information that has been exposed that China's aviation industry is accelerating the production of L15 advanced trainer in . Since L15 has huge potential for improvement, it has gained great popularity in the international market, which almost exceeded everyone's expectations. The reason why China's L15 can be produced with all its strength is that Ukraine has actually helped a lot, because to this day, the L15 is still equipped with the AI-222-25F turbofan engine produced by Ukraine.
Speaking of Hongdu Aviation company, the first thing you will think of is the famous K-8/Coach 8 Intermediate Trainer . It has been a best-selling for many years. It is now also the main intermediate trainer of the Chinese Air Force, and it is also the car of the Chinese Air Force with the Red Eagle Flying Performance Team. In addition, Hongdu Airlines also manufactured the first domestically produced aircraft in New China, as well as the first Chinese-sharp 5 with air intake on both sides, and the first 6, which is loved by foreign folk flight enthusiasts.

[World Military Observation of Falling Mother's World Military Situation No. 265] However, compared with other aircraft manufacturers, Hongdu Airlines' development in the past decade has become backward. Cheng Fei and Shen Fei do not mention it. Guihang, which was originally a competitor of trainer aircraft, originally produced the J-7, a very bad trainer aircraft. The performance of the new trainer 9 Shanying is not as good as Hongdu's L15, but Guihang seized the opportunity. Shanying had equipped the navy and air force in large quantities earlier than L15, and even became the land trainer model of the carrier-based aircraft unit, and it is very likely to compete with the L15 to board the ship. Guizhou Airlines is also a drone production base, seizing the commanding heights of the aviation manufacturing industry in the future.
The reason why Hongdu Airlines is developing slowly is mainly because its only new model, L15, is progressing too slowly. After all, the first development of advanced trainer aircraft is a great challenge. Although it can receive help from foreign countries, it is not as fast as Guihang's Shanying's original model as Guizhou Airlines's Shanying, and the delay in domestic production has also affected the domestic sales market.

[World Military Observation of Falling Mother Issue 265] The reason why Hongdu Airlines would rather tolerate the slow progress of L15 and even affect the short-term development of the entire group is probably because the hope that Hongdu Airlines has placed on L15 is not just as simple as advanced trainer aircraft, otherwise it cannot explain why it must pursue supersonic performance and the general maneuverability of fighter . Obviously, Hongdu would rather sacrifice part of the domestic trainer aircraft market and use the L15 to enter the higher-end light multi-function fighter market.
But the competition in the light multi-function fighter market is also very fierce. Not to mention that international buyers generally prefer heavy fighter jets now, a large number of second-hand fighters in Western countries are also flooding the market. Just talking about the domestic manufacturers who are eyeing this cake include Guihang and Chengfei: Chengfei's FC-1 JF-110 has gradually opened up the multinational market, and the two-seat JF-110 has also successfully tested the flight; and the FTC-2000G single-seat multi-function fighter developed based on Guihang coach 9 Shanying has been successfully exported; although the L15 currently holds many domestic and foreign orders, and the afterburner engine and pulsation production line have also been in place, it still faces great uncertainty in the future.
