China was receiving aircraft and technical help from the USSR. When Egypt and China
seemed to be looking to the US for assistance, relations with the USSR ended. To keep
aircraft development going in China, Egypt sent a Mig-21MF in return for a Romeo Class
SSK sub. China reverse engineered the Mig-21MF and developed the J-7C/D. Externally
the J-7D was almost identical but had some improved avionics and weapons controls,
many J-7Ds were just upgraded J-7Cs. This J-7D originally was an operational night
fighter under the Beijing MR (Military Region) at Huairen Air Field.
