Shenyang J-7(Type-62) Fighter

---

The first type of J-7 is not manufactured by Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, but by Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.Approximately only 23-24 J-7 prototypes have been produced, and 12 have been donated to Albania

There is basically no difference between the J-7 prototype and the MIG21F-13 model, except that the original engine has been replaced by the WP-7 engine made in China. T's WP-7 engine is modeled after the Soviet Union's r11-300 engine (but historically, the quality and efficiency of the WP-7 have been a concern, with the first WP-7 engine having a lifespan of only 100 hours)
