A improved version of the Russian Mig 21 and it is very outdated now compare to other new jet fighters.

MIGleader

the j-7c, along with the mig-21 2000 represent the last available developmenty of the mig-21. the fighter had great potential, but is now depleted.

I think that the last development of the mig-21 is actually the J-7g.

MIGleader

not much different. i meant the seiries, which include j-7c,d,e,f,g

Actually J-7E/G is alot more capable than J-7C,D. It has better engines,manuverbility, and raders. And what is J-7F?

MIGleader

it has better avionics, thats it.
it doesnt have a new engine or radar. too dificult on such an old fighter.

tphuang

it saddens me that China still produces so many old planes.

adeptitus

o_O But it still generates foreign sales

The newer J-7 versions certainly do have new engines and radars. They also have a new wing with a double-delta shape rather than a simple delta.

MIGleader

that is the upgrade given to the j-7,d,e,f,g
and most of this info we already know

The only reason these fighters should be developed is for export. They can make a lot of money selling such fighters. They definetly do not need such planes in their own air force. $15 million a play is pretty good tho.
