This photo is supposedly of a JH-7B model. The model is very recent.

Re: JH-7/JH-7A Thread
It comes from the video above you. At first i was very inclined to say it's a wind-tunnel model of the initial project, not JH-7B, but looking closer there's an air-breathing missile under the wing, and i'm not sure if i see one or two ventral fins, plus the antennas behind the cockpit appears same as on JH-7A. IF this is indeed JH-7B, supposedly the IFR probe is retractable then?
What is the air-breathing missile? I swear i've seen something similar before , but can't recall where and in what context now ...
PS: Found it... isn't that the initial YJ-12 project, or is it a different missile altogether? ( If it's the initial YJ-12 then doubt that model shows JH-7B, but you never know)

around either late 05' or 06, report that PLAN plan to instal AESA for JH-7.could AESA equip JH-7 a B variant?
judging from the picture,I do not see any change at all,likely internal change such as up grade avionic.closes analogy was F-4E to Super Phantom such as now retire luftwafe APG-65 equip F-4E.
I speculate the radar if it AESA likely derivative of J-10B radar system.

If looks like it's hangs in a museum or a lobby rather than a test lab, which would indicate it's a old project rather than something not revealed yet.

I do like the helmet a lot better than the traditional white+red star

Re: JH-7/JH-7A Thread
This photo was taken at August 6th in Russia. A unit-badge could be saw barely.
However, there are no unit-badge carried during the ferry to Russia.
So these badges were painted in Russia.
Is this image psedor is it indeed the first operational JH-7A I know showing a unit-badge

Supposing it is badge of "Peace Mission 2013". Tanks, choppers, and carriers are painted. JH-7s would not be exceptions.
