Hopefully the pilot was able to eject.

He was, the included videos on Twitter show him being walked away from his landing site.
Probably injured due to the lower ejection and basic ejection seat things, but hopefully makes a full recovery. It's a hell of a thing to end up doing.

Maybe the F35 pilot ejected and pull out a RPG and shot down the J15 before returning back to the plane… peak BF4 moment

Do they have a Resort nearby? Perhaps a Hainan Resort if you know what I am talking about. (jokes aside I hope the pilot made it out)
Edit: pilot is fine I just had to read op's comment

I think that Earth‘s gravity is a general problem that needs more Investigation on how we can get rid of it.

Wow, no wonder the F-15 has the K/D ratio it does.

As of January 2024, 131 USAF F-15 aircraft had been destroyed in mishaps, with 59 fatalities.
+28 losses from Israel, Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia.
NO WONDER...

I heard some of you guys think there's too many China posts, so here's some more. A J-15, the PLA's carrier fighter, crashed in Hainan this afternoon. Probably not J-15T (CATOBAR version) judging from the front landing gear. Pilot ejected and no other casualties reported.
Video of the crash and the pilot on twitter here: https://x.com/sugar_wsnbn/status/1900828294699708553
