I must admit, I'm surprised ... after all these years, a - at least for me - so far unknown JH-7A prototype no. 816 was spotted for the first time. Briefly shown in a promotional video for NORINCO at the Zhuhai Airshow and carrying a YJ1000-1 1000kg LGB.

Prototype 816 looks like prototype of "JH-7B" #821 and #822. It is indeed strange that it is painted #81X instead of #82X.

Does it mean that since the "JH7B" project could have been cancelled, so that any subsequent prototype number be reverted back to JH7A lineage, and thus the number #81X is used.

Note that the tests is regarding integration of YJ1000-1 made by Norinco to the aircraft, assuming the intended target aircraft is JH7A.
