Idea:PLAAF MiG-23ML copy

[Erwin_Hans 6]

Due to the failing of old Jian-10,the PLAAF decide to build a new fighter which copyed form MiG-23M L,most technical based the MiG-23MS form Egypt in 1970s.This project desighed in 1978~198X by Shenyang 601 IIRC.Due to the plan for introducing Mirage-2000 and Harrier,the MiG-23ML copy project was transfored to Q-6,Nanchang 302.And finally cancelled after first fly of JH-7.

 

This is historical

Very nice camo scheme!

 

A short while ago I used Flogger23's skin to make a North Vietnamese MiG-23

I learned of the possibility years and years ago that, at one point, the PLAAF/PLAN were looking to purchase the Harrier, sometime back in the 80s. This is a concept that has always intrigued me.

AFAIK,what they want is much more than normal people's image.

They tried to get F-16/79,even F-14(not sure) and F-15(there was a F-15 copy program called old J-14/1970s)

They also upgrade Q-5(Q-5M) and J-7(J-7IIA and J-7H) J-8(Peace Peal program)by western technical.

The eariles introducing of old J-11 was in "meeting 825",1969 for experience of battel in Vietnam and Mid-east.The old J-11 is a 9-ton,high maneuver medium fighter desighed by Sheng yang,601.Their are 3 plans for J-11: plan A with 2xWP-6C engine,Max speed 1.75,canceled due to low speed. Plan B with WP-7C,but aircraft is to heavy for WP-7C(WP-7C is good enough for 7-ton fighter,but J-11 is 9-ton more).Plan C installed with a rolls-royce "spey",and this is the best plan.The aircraft looks very similar to Mirage F-1. But this is not copy.This aircraft fitted with a 645 or 204 radar(WTF!?),armed with 2x 30mm gun,and 2x IR missile(may be PL-7,R-550 copy).This J-11 program is cancelled for economic construction in 1980s.
