China was receiving aircraft and technical help from Russia. When Egypt and China seemed to be looking to the US
for assistance, relations with Russia ended. To keep aircraft development going in China, Egypt sent a Mig-21MF in
return for a Romeo Class SSK sub. China reverse engineered the Mig-21MF and developed the J-7C/D. Externally
the J-7D was almost identical but had some improved avionics and weapons controls, many J-7Ds were just
upgraded J-7Cs. This J-7D originally was an operational night fighter under the Beijing MR (Military Region) at
Huairen Air Field.
Aircraft 30168 was originally assigned to the 10th Air Corps, 15th Air Division, 43rd Regiment, 1st squadron had
15 J-7Cs used as spares and 2nd squadron had 10 J-7Cs operational. 3rd squadron had 10 J-7Ds operational and
4th squadron had 10 J-7Ds operational as a night fighter under the Beijing MR (Military Region) at Huairen Air Field.
There were a total of 6 Regiments 4 night fighters and 4 training regiments with 10 aircraft. All the J-7Ds were
modified versions of the J-7C and were given a new light grey paint scheme for the night fighting role.
Trying to improve the shortcomings of the J-7C a more powerful WP-13F1 turbojet (7,300kg w/ afterburning) was
installed to improve the maneuverability. Avionics were upgraded as well, which include more reliable JL-7A J-band
fire-control radar, HK-13A HUD and fire-control computer, JD-3II TACAN, 563B INS, and RKL-800 integrated ECM
system, 941-4A chaff/flare dispenser. J-7D can be distinguished by a new set of 930-4 RWR antennas on top of the
vertical tail-fin. The aircraft also features an improved weapon management system for the new PL-8 IR homing
