It's beautiful when looking from front.
Wonder why we stop improving this fighter.
Does J-16 take the role of it now?

Have JH-7s/JH-7As started to be decommissioned yet? I feel a lot of their roles can be fulfilled by the J-16.

The role of the Su-34 may be fulfilled by the Su-35, but the Russians continue to produce the Su-34. The same is true for China. JH-7 has its own advantage over other multi-purpose aircraft

J16 is designed to replace JH7A, but as long as JH7 airframe is still having many years' of life span, they will continue to be in active service. We see similarity with J7/J8/SU-27SK/SU-27UBK being still active despite induction of J10C/J11BS/J16/J20.
