Less than 200, will be gone in two years time. Cherish them while it lasts.

China could sell the hundreds of J8's to many countries in bulk. They're still effective against land forces that have little airforce or defense strength.
 
Just saw a news on World Military Forum saying a J-7 crashed into a house killing 1 and 2 injured in Xiangyang city, Hubei Province. The pilot ejected successfully and he was found injured as well.

Old type with limited use, unlike the J-8 which could be used for reconnaissance and interception of cruise missiles. I think they should be retired asap.
 
Whatever frame lives left of these J7 would be useful if they are converted into suicide drones or target drones, or even decoy drones.

The roles of J7 and JJ7 as trainer jets should all be replaced by JL9 and JL10. And for those second line air brigades/regiments that still operate J7s, it is time to move to J10A and J11A.
