Y-7H

This aircraft is a tactical-transport derivative of the Y-7, which is a version of the twin-turboprop Antonov An-24.

JH-7

China has flown at least two prototypes of this two-seat interdictor/strike aircraft, with several of the type being evaluated at unit level by naval aviation. The aircraft was intended to meet air force and naval strike aircraft requirements, although the former appears to have lost interest in the project.
