as google said, google is indeed your friend 😀
anyways, i’ll save you the time and do a cut and paste from FAS
Raduga Kh-28 (AS-9 Kyle)
Tactical missiles were also built by A. Berezhnyak’s “Raduga” OKB engineering group, but by a different route than taken by the “Zvezda” Design Bureau. While “Zvezda” started from light air-to-air missiles, “Raduga” scaled down heavy air-to-ground missiles for strategic aircraft into light tactical ones.
The Kh-28 (Article 93, alias D8) was built by applying to it Kh-22 and KSR-5 features. Its structure is a conventional aerodynamic one, with small delta wings. Its propulsion system is a two-stage liquid-fuel rocket engine. It was produced as early as the nineteen sixties, especially as an antiradar missile for Yak-28 bomber aircraft (the first Soviet missile of this type). It was, however, never actually put on Yak-28 aircraft but instead used as weapon of Su-7B/17/24 and Tu-22M aircraft. Series production of the Kh-28 began in 1971. The warhead is programmed prior to the missile launch, either by a “Filin” [Eagle Owl] set on board the aircraft (Su-24) or a “Metel” [Blizzard] set suspended from the aircraft (Su-7B/17, Tu-22M), to track the frequency of detected enemy ground radar. On the Su-17 aircraft this missile is suspended under the center line of the fuselage and the “Metel” set on the right underwing pylon. The missile is no longer used

That big hump represents MIG-21.
so then this isn’t a mig-21..

From Huitong’s site
A rare photo of a J-7D being dragged by a braking parachute after landing is shown here. J-7D was co-developed by CAC and 611 Institute in the early 90s (first flew in August 1991 as J-7IIIA) in order to address some of the shortcomings of J-7C/Mig-21MF all-weather fighter, such as poor maneuverability and poor performance of its fire-control system. As the result, a more powerful WP-13FI turbojet (7,300kg w/ afterburning) was installed to improve the maneuverability. Avionics were upgraded as well, which include more reliable JL-7A J-band fire-control radar, HK-13A HUD and fire-control computer, JD-3II TACAN, 563B INS, and RKL-800 integrated ECM system, RKZ-404E chaff/flare dispenser. J-7D can be distinguished by a new set of BM/KJ 8602 RWR antennas on top of the vertical tailfin. The aircraft also features an improved weapon management system for carrying the latest PL series IR homing AAMs such as PL-8. Nevertheless, the J-7D design has proved to be as unsuccessful as J-7C, since it can neither fire medium-range radar-homing AAMs in BVR air combat, nor can it maneuver as agily as J-7E in close-in dogfight. Therefore in a sense it is no better than Mig-21bis which flew 20 years earlier. Only 32 were produced between 1995 and 1999. Like its predecessor, J-7D only saw limited service as a dedicated night fighter wearing a new light gray camouflage. Currently two night fighter regiments are equipped with J-7D: one in the 15th Division (serial number 30x6x) and the other in the 29th Division (serial number 25x0x
