A Chinese J-15 fighter jet from the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) crashed during a training exercise in Hainan province.

The incident occurred at around 1.30 p.m. on March 15, 2025, near Jialai Town in Lingao County, in the southern part of China.

Initial reports and video footage from the scene suggest that the fighter jet was in a slow descent with its landing gear extended at the time of the crash. This configuration points to the possibility that the aircraft was attempting to land when the incident occurred. The fighter jet was found in an open area, in a position with the nose angled downward and the tail raised, further indicating that the crash likely took place during the landing phase.
