Re: JH-7/JH-7A Thread
PLANAF 6th Division 1st Regiment - Original JH-7 (probable up to 20 planes); possibility of midlife update to use JL-10A radar.
6th Division 2nd Regiment - JH-7 built with with JL-10A radar. (probable up to 24 planes)
9th Division 3rd Regiment - first regiment with JH-7A (probable up to 24 planes)
5th Division 2nd Regiment - JH-7A (probable up to 24 planes)
PLAAF 28th Division 1st Regiment - JH-7A (probable up to 20 planes)
As far as I know, they only produced 1 JH-7 and 3 JH-7A regiments, with 18-20 aircraft per regiment. So that adds up to maybe 80 planes?
The JL-10/A radar is being improved. While it's not as advanced as the latest western radars, the JH-7 is not exactly a front-line fighter anyway. What's important is its capability to deliver bombs on target, not intercepting enemy fighters.
