It is still somewhere in the 沈飞museum thing, but not very clear as in what upgrades were taken.

the link above goes pretty detailed into what was done to it.

Is this a IR seeker in the nose section?

Could be an IR seeker although LS series had generally been LGBs.

This bomb is probably similar to this japanese bomb

Which LS series bomb had laser guidance?

Does anybody have this?

Why does j8f have cockpit in fake units?

J8F cockpit in general is wrong it has extra MFDs anyways, but it could very well be in nautical miles and feet.
J8F 的座舱整体错误,但是这些数字应该是海里和英尺。

What’s Gaijin’s stance on countries getting foreign planes that they had but never used?

Apparently, China got their hands on some Mig-23s and F-111s for their Q-6 project

If that plane was captured by china then there are some hopes of seeing it but if it’s stolen then gaijin isn’t going to add that.

(Off topic) I was wondering what is the purpose of these two antennas. Is it meant for communication?
