Confirmation of the day: J-7 fighter decommissioned from PLA service (both PLAAF and PLANAF)

This isn’t exactly breaking news for anyone who follows Chinese military developments, but it’s still noteworthy to have confirmation that the J‑7 has finally been retired from front‑line service. As for the remaining airframes that are still in decent condition, several paths remain open: they could be exported, repurposed as secondary trainers, or converted into remotely operated drones. Time will tell which direction they choose.
