JH-7A Flying Leopard

I’m surprised about the lack of information publicly available on the wiki regarding the JH-7A Flying Leopard. This jet is easily as big as an F-111 but the wiki lists its maximum takeoff under 70,000 pounds. Think about it, this beast lugs around up to twenty 250kg bombs and a pair of 1400L drop tanks yet is supposed to have less takeoff weight than a Panavia Tornado? The wiki even lists nine hard points, which was the JH-7 limitation; JH-7A has eleven now. It’s shamefully listed as comparable to the Soko J-22 Orao and Mitsubishi F1?! I don’t believe something in the F-15E class should be listed as comparable to over-sized trainers.

If anyone has good sources and can update the wiki to better information, please contribute.
