Quite normal, these old frame will be phrased out within next 5 years. As long as pilot is safe, it will be fine. Hope no one will die in this accident.

China has approximately 400 J-7 variants some reports say 600. China should retire those J-7s manufactured before 1996 in favor of limited number of FC-1 or increase J-10A/B production.

Glad pilot ejected and is safe.

Lets hope they all recover and be well soon. J-7s are now beginning to show the signs, curious why PLAAF did not induct FC-1s been more than 2 years production started in Pakistan had China introduced it at the same time China would have atleast 100 of them and the capabilities are multifold then J-7s.

even the older A5 are still in service. we have too many J7. this is too costly to replace all of them in short time. I hope we will replace all A5 and J7 before 2020

Yes I was researching PLAAF/PLANF has around 700 A-5s/J-7s combined I did not even mention J-8 and i was really puzzled why China showcased another new variant of J-8 in 2012 Air Show.

PLAAF/PLANF operates as many as around 600-700 A-5s/J-7s.
