Now Beijing intends to re-conquer the audience, consolidating its success. Among other cars featured a new model JH-7AII. She was seen in the Russian Federation during a static show at the opening ceremony of the competition. Moreover, there is no information in the information field that could characterize this machine.
According to a military expert from Beijing, Wei Donghu, who was contacted by the Chinese publication Global Times, there are no significant changes in the aerodynamic design compared to the JH-7A modification, the differences should be sought in the internal layout. Apparently, JH-7AII has a more advanced radar and improved avionics. According to him, it is likely that the new car can carry more weapons, increasing its firepower.

At the same time, as the Global Times points out, a number of Chinese analysts previously stated that there are not many opportunities for improving the JH-7. Some even suggested that the PLA could send him into “retirement," especially after the J-16, which could play a similar role as a fighter-bomber, entered service.
Xian JH-7 made its first flight in the 1988 year, a modification of the JH-7A - in the 2002 year.
