It's a fighter-bomber and introduced in 1992. These new pics supposedly show them utilizing composite materials for parts of the airframe.

I wonder if the radar is different too.

It is very unlikely that it will PLANAF, as they already have 5 regiments and no regiment screaming for replacements (even the single J-7EH regiment, 8 Div 24 Regt Jialai, only got their current planes in 2010, when they were handed down from 4 Div 10 Regt Zhuangqiao, when this regiment converted to J-10AH/SH).

I would be looking for PLAAF's Nanning Base or Dalian Base (Urumqi Base just got 110 Bde Urumqi with JH-7A).

It's actually pretty amazing how well PLANAF is equipped with 3rd generation planes (JH-7, flankers or J-10) compared of PLAAF.
