If I'm not mistaken, this photo is the J-8V which came out about two or three years ago. I've got a color pix of it. It looks rather cool but was totally a fan art.

Are you sure? I did a quick google and I got this:
46_15242.jpg

Doesn't quite look like the drawing I posted but looks like a nice enough plane. Like JF-17 or something.

I don't think that drawing (the black/white one you quoted) is fan art -- it shows very distinct similarities with the model shown in the picture, that I think we can assume that drawing is what the real plane (J-19 or JH-7B or whwatever) looks like.

I think it looks totally like your drawing ... with twin canted tails on the drawing replacing the single vertical one on this j-8v.

It's not the J-8V, they look completely different.

But the black/white photo could still be fan art.

All we know for sure is that the photo is real.

EDIT: Huitong doesn't think the drawing is of the J-19. He says the J-19 is a single seat multirole fighter, not a striker. Maybe this is the JH-XX? Might support my theory that SAC and XAC could have cooperated on a strike fighter.

I don't think this is the JH-7B. The JH-7B changes are not great enough to make it a 5th generation fighter, and it doesn't include the suspected upgrades such as DSI, etc. Is is not probable that they will build a new JH-XX, because we are past the age of fighter bombers.

J-8V was supposed to be a parody drawing by Chinese military fans ridiculing the SAC's inability to innovate. I can't believe you guys are actually taking this seriously. We'll be laughing stocks once some one finds out about this thread and translates it into Chinese.

Zzz another word for fighter bombers is strike aircraft... and strike aircraft are certainly still relevant #JSF

But I don't think anyone was taking that fan art seriously, it was the black/white+model photos we were discussing.
