Talk:Xian JH-7

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The JH-7 & JH-7A is currently in service with the PLANAF only, and not the PLAAF: http://www.china-military.org/units/planaf.htm

Currently, the PLANAF 6th Division (East Sea Fleet) and 9th Division (South Sea Fleet) is equipped with JH-7 & JH-7A.

There is no proof that the JH-7 is based on the F-111. The aircraft was originally designed to have 2 versions, a twin-seat tandem config for PLANAF and side-by-side seat variant for PLAAF. The claim of F-111 copy came from the PLAAF variant, which was dropped. -- June 23, 2006

Here's a picture showing the difference between JH-7 and JH-7A, and the discussion thread. The first picture claims that the JH-7A belongs to PLAAF Southern Air Command's 28th Division. This means that the JH-7(A) is in service with both the PLAAF and PLANAF. -- Adeptitus 17:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
