Xi'an JH-7, History, Performance & Discussion

A chinese forum said that they were the standard ones.
As a confirmation china bought a batch of kh29T
In the 2000s.

Then I guess we can expect just the regular Kh-29T. Any evidence that china ever bought any other versions like the Kh-29TE or Kh-29L?

I guess it will probably be up to gajjins interpretation then if China gets anything other than the base Kh-29T

What Missles can the JH7A fire on its 3rd Pylon? 1 PL-12 + 2 PL-11 or PL-8? i cant find it?

Anyone want to report that JH-7 should have NVGs? According to an article, it should:

Later versions of the Chinese Xi’an JH-7 “Flying Leopard” are reported to have all-weather attack capability and provisions for night vision goggle use by flight crews

As far as I can tell, JH-7A, the variant in-game is the latest version.

Maybe a PL-12? Outside of that tho I think that’s it, and good luck finding any actual evidence of it ever using the PL-12

Question, in the pictures, what’s the black missle next to the PL-12? It kinda looks like a C-704 but I can’t ID it?

1.This is a small-sized laser-controlled, correctable penetrating aviation bomb of 200 kg caliber, designed for use from low altitudes…in some sources it is designated as CS/BBM1…

2. But with PL-12…I made a mistake in the photo of the LD-10 (anti-radar missile)…

I think that was the issue people had with reports, that we still lack solid evidence the JH-7A ever carried the PL-12

I don’t think it will be receiving the PL-12 regardless, the tank top tier is already lower than top tier air and it has no good reason to be armed with it.

The JH-7A is not a multi role fighter, it has no use for it.

That what I was assuming anyways with the way gajjin likes to balance these thaings. I was never really expecting it to get them even if it could…

Looks like we can farm lvl 5 players in their Abrams and Challengers with our Kh-29’s come next update lmao

I believe that vehicles should be given the loadouts that they historically use and not be a gimmick for balancing.
ex. F-100A Aim-9J

Let’s say if not hope PL-12 on JH-7A

So I might expect lead-in fighter trainer (LIFT)/light multirole combat aircraft Guizhou FTC-2000G armed IR PL-8 & PL-9C and guided active radar homing medium range BVR SD-10A

Problem is, even if you want to use that argument, there isn’t a single pic of the JH-7A actually flying with a PL-12, so that idea kinda falls flat
