B. F-7A ( F-7 II ) History :
This is a mod of Gramps F-7M Airguard/Skybolt into the less sophisticated F-7A Export version. *This* is the fighter
that comes to mind with Western Defence Analysts when you mention Chinese Fighter. Basically a stripped down version
of the MiG-21F. These were the first F-7s offered for sale by China and lack features that China's own line J-7 IIs carried.
Primarily sold to African nations & Albania, these initial offerings could carry either Soviet IRMs or the early Chinese
copies. Principle users included Albania, Tanzania, Iraq ( wired for Matra R-550s ), and possibly the Iranian Islamic
Revolutionary Guards. Simplistic, even by African standards, this "no frills" fighter is what you want if you're more
interested in having a status symbol supersonic air force.
