The jet is a canceled Soviet project. The airframe is from Mig 21, modified a little. The aircraft was supposed to be called Mig 23, but it got canceled due to the prototype getting destroyed when the engine exploded in flight at high rpm.

Its sometimes call Mig 21F+ or Mig E8

Several other aircraft(variants of Mig 21) were supposed to be built on top of this design, but it all got canceled.

Any Connection for FC-1 (JF-17) jets?

The FC-1 traces its origin to the Super-7 fighter programme, a joint Chengdu-Grumman development project worth US$500 million to upgrade the Chinese J-7 (MiG-21) fighter. Proposed upgrades included removing the fighter's nose air intake and replacing it with a ‘solid’ nose with two lateral air intakes, as well as upgrading the fighter with Western-made avionics and engine.

The development agreement was signed in 1986, but the programme was cancelled in 1990, in the wake of the cooling political relations between China and the West, as well as in response to a 40% increase in the cost of the project.

Chengdu continued the Super-7 project independently and re-branded the design as FC-1. In 1999, China and Pakistan concluded a joint development and production agreement to co-develop the FC-1 fighter. Under the agreement, the programme was to be jointly funded by the China Aviation Import and Export Corporation (CATIC) and Pakistan, each with 50% stake of the joint venture.

Russian Mikoyan Aero-Science Production Group (MASPG) reportedly provided some assistance in the development of the aircraft

Personally I am searching for failed Soviet Union Aircraft

Named as Mig-28 some say it’s a Fictional aircraft but it’s true

Soviet Union had a aircraft on development stage they called it there F-16

After the collapse of Soviet Union, Russia sold that project to China

Russian Mikoyan Aero-Science Production Group sold the project to Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation

The first instance of a "MiG-28" was in the 1978 Quiller novel The Sinkiang Executive written by Adam Hall. Referred to in the work as the MiG-28D (NATO code "Finback"), it was an aircraft that resembled a somewhat modified MiG-25, but with sharper air intakes and swept wings.

jagjitnatt got it right.

Its simply amazing that aready in 1962 was flying jet very similar to J-10 and Eurofighter. But Soviets canceled it in favor of MiG-23.
