Vehicle History
The JH-7 Flying Leopard was the first combat aircraft entirely designed in the People’s Republic of China. Development began in the 1970s at the Xi’an Aircraft Industrial Corporation with technical support from the 603rd Institute. The design featured a traditional aerodynamic configuration with swept wings and air intakes on the sides, which provided good performance at transonic speeds.
The first prototype flight took place in 1988, and serial production began in 1992. Initially, the aircraft was created for naval aviation as a carrier of YJ-8 anti-ship missiles. In 1999, a program for modernizing the aircraft was launched, which led to the creation of the JH-7A modification, which is the basis of the modern strike aircraft in the Chinese Navy and Air Force.

Introducing the JH-7 and JH-7A Prototype !
Today we’re pleased to present two new variants of China’s famous attack aircraft: the early JH-7 with unguided weapons and anti-ship missiles, and the JH-7A Prototype, a versatile jet aircraft with guided weapons and excellent capabilities for countering air threats! Let’s take a closer look.
The Chinese JH-7A has long been a staple in high-tier battles in Ground and Air modes and has established itself as a flexible and very effective attack aircraft with strong air combat capabilities. In the Spearhead major update, the JH-7A will be joined by two variants: the researchable JH-7 and the premium JH-7A Prototype, which combines all the advantages of the old JH-7A but as a premium, available from today as a pre-order pack with unique in-game bonuses, Premium time and Golden Eagles.
The JH-7 is one of the early production variants of China’s first domestically developed fighter-bomber. This modification can use the YJ-83K anti-ship missiles, the main munition of this type in service with the PLA. In addition to anti-ship missiles, the JH-7 possesses an impressive arsenal of unguided weapons, making this aircraft an excellent choice for mixed modes. You’ll be able to use rocket pods, free-fall and drag bombs with calibers of 250 and 500 kg, as well as special armor-piercing anti-ship bombs. For air combat, the aircraft can be equipped with a pair of jam-resistant PL-5EII air-to-air missiles.
The premium JH-7A Prototype is a top-rank aircraft. It takes the unguided arsenal of the JH-7 and supplements it with guided weapons, for engaging both ground and air targets. One of the JH-7A Prototype’s most dangerous weapons is the Kh-29T guided missile with a thermal imaging targeting pod, allowing it to engage ground targets from significant distances in all weather conditions. The JH-7A Prototype also has several types of guided bombs, including the advanced GB250 with a combination of laser and satellite guidance and an inertial correction system. For Air Battles, it has a radar warning receiver, a large number of high caliber chaff and flares, a 23 mm cannon and most importantly, guided short-range missiles, including the fast and agile all-aspect PL-8 and up to four PL-5EII missiles.
You can pre-order the JH-7A Prototype from today! This pack includes unique bonuses that won’t be available anywhere else, as well as Premium time and a considerable amount of Golden Eagles. As soon as the Spearhead major update releases, your brand new JH-7A Prototype will be waiting for you in your hangar!
Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.
