The J-7E and J-8B are equipped with PD radar; the J-7E and J-8B are armed with PL-8 and PL-9 missiles

   The current weight of the J-7E's full simulation is 11.0, with only the PL-5B mounted at the rear. Most missiles of the same weight class are essentially all-round infrared-guided missiles. The current armament configuration does not match the actual setup, as the J-7E is actually equipped with PL-8 and PL-9C missiles, along with a PD radar (GEC, Girfo-7, or Type 226). Corrections are needed for the J-7E's missiles and radar, with the weight adjusted to 11.3–11.7.
    The current simulation weight of the J-8 B is 11.7, and the J-8 B is actually mounted as a Thunderbolt 8 and equipped with a 208 type single pulse radar. The early J-8-2-01 batch was used for testing and evaluation, while the later J-8-2-02 batch, which replaced the SL-8A PD radar (with a detection range of 70 kilometers), is the J-8 B. Therefore, missile and radar corrections need to be made to the J-8 B, with weights ranging from 11.3 to 11.7.

we have early versions of both air craft that do not have those feature sets.
