BELGRADE DEBKAfiles military and intelligence sources report that China sent word to Moscow on Friday, October 2, that J-15 fighter bombers would shortly join the Russian air campaign that was launched Wednesday, September 30. Baghdad has moreover offered Moscow an air base for targeting the Islamic State now occupying large swathes of Iraqi territory, debka.com reports.
The J-15 warplanes will take off from the Chinese Liaoning-CV-16 aircraft carrier, which reached Syrian shores on September 26, according to DEBKAfile. This will be a landmark event for Beijing: its first military operation in the Middle East as well the carriers first taste of action in conditions of real combat.

He’s an expert, he did it in Libya, I wonder what his next target was going to be?
Well yes, but at this point, do we the world have a choice? It’s either this or it’s basically ISIS getting bigger and stronger.
The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend!I Hope Russia Destroys Every Muslime Over There!
Obama keeps saying something like 64 countries are in his coalition, he never names more than 8 though, I wonder who the others are? Places like Fiji, Western Samoa type countries I suppose.
Maybe he deserves another prize!
Obama really must be your worst President ever, worse than James Buchanan even.
They seemed to destroy some pretty important things today.
I know nothing about military hardware, but the Chinese planes look nice, I expect they’re impressive.
They need to rescue what’s left of the US from becoming a caliphate because no one in the US has the balls to remove the SOB and the UN army he’s bringing in here to seize our weapons so that we can “get along” with all of the islmist nightmare he’s hauling in here.
The thing is, all the lunatics like Fiorina, McCain, Kasich etc who want to “engage” Russia and even want to send planes to shoot Russia’s planes down, do they want to go there if China’s planes are there also?
That really would be a lock them in a rubber room moment.
Yes ;)
Well, this is Debka so your mileage may vary.

People are going to find out soon what many of us have foreseen for a long time.
Leopards don’t change their spots.
We should keep in mind this is DEBKA. Gotta keep it in context.
The DEBKA report is patently bull, there’d be numerous reports of it’s Group’s travels.
Possibly:
“... Another possibility again, supposing there is some validity in what Morozov says is that China is sending a Type 071 amphibious assault ship, which, as a helicopter carrier, might in some cases be referred to as an aircraft carrier.
No Type 071s are known to be deployed currently to the waters of the Middle East or Med, but the Type 071 Changbaishan did deploy to the Med earlier this year, and was present for the big exercise with Russia. Changbaishan also conducted a high-profile port visit in Greece...”

I’d be astonished if there are NO Chinese military there in some form.
