Correct, the closest of what can be called as original Super 7 is FT-2000C. Other than that there is nothing about J-7 in JF-17 except for the No 7. If the swamis think that is an omen... let them make omelette of it with dagga.. at least they can see the omelettes fly when high.Well, how much of the J-7/MiG-21 are you keeping if you change the wings, stabilizers, tail, nose, front fuselage, rear fuselage, size, wiring, canopy, adding FBW (and then adding 3-axis FBW on top of it), aerodynamic qualities, etc? Anyone who's saying the JF-17 is a MiG-21/F-7 is probably referencing the original Sabre II project, but that was dropped in the late 1980s in favour of a clean-sheet design (Super-7/FC-1/JF-17).
