The chinese fighter Shengyang J8-II is now well known.
Apparently the first protype (J8-I) flew in 1969 or something like that (I’m not very sure…).
Was it (at the beginig) a chinese derivative of the russian fighter
Ye-152A “flipper” (some kind of Mig-21 on steroids, who flew at 2800km/h with one engine at the begining of the sixties).
Anyone knows about that ?
