I'm still not convinced that the JH-7B was able to carry the YJ-12 AShMs.

If JH-7B can't carry two YJ-12 AShMs, why should it be developped, compared with JH-7A?

IMO the point was not to develop that would be able to carry specifically the YJ-12, which IMO is a too large and too heavy AShM - but to improve its avionics, give it new capabilities - like the IFR-capability - and weapons options to keep it even longer in service (and eventually in production). As such some sort of MLU.
