China-designed JH-7 Flying Leopard fighter-bomber initially used imported Rolls-Royce Spey engines, and later a licensed copy of the Spey, the WS-9 Qinling turbofan, was developed.The JH-7A is better suited as a naval attack aircraft against warships.The JH-7A can not only carry electronic pods for electronic warfare missions, but also use the YJ-12 supersonic antiship missiles with a range of 400-500km.
The JH-7A is still very competent as a coastal defender. But Pakistan doesn't seem to have much pressure on its naval defense.
