How China Cloned Russia’s MiG-21 to Create the J-7 Fighter Jet – A Shocking Defense Tale

How China Cloned Russia’s MiG-21: After the Bangladesh F-7 crash, China’s J-7 fighter jet history resurfaces—see how it copied Russia’s MiG-21 to dominate global skies.

The F-7 fighter plane made in China collided with a school in Dhaka yesterday and crashed. More than 27 people died in this accident. The F-7 fighter plane is also called ‘Grandpa Fighter Jet’. It was made by China in 1960 in collaboration with Russia (then Soviet Union).

Currently, apart from Bangladesh, many countries, including Pakistan, Iran, Myanmar, Namibia, Nigeria, North Korea, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, use F-7 planes.

F-7 is an advanced version of J-7

Bangladesh has a total of 36 F-7 fighter jets. At the same time, Pakistan has the most fighter jets with 120 F-7s. However, China has made most of the aircraft either by copying them from America or from Russia. The F-7 fighter jet is also not beyond this exception. China’s F-7 jet is quite similar to the MiG-21.

How China Cloned Russia’s MiG-21: The story started in 1961

China’s F-7 fighter jet is an advanced version of the J-7 fighter plane, and China built the J-7 on the lines of Russia’s MiG-21, or rather, stole it from Russia by deceit. In 1961, China’s Mao signed an agreement with the Soviet Union’s Nikita, which included a proposal to build the MiG-21 in China.

China and Russia’s relations deteriorated

Under this agreement, the MiG-21 fighter jet was sent to China along with some technical documents. However, later, due to some reasons, Russia broke this agreement. But by then it was too late. The Russian MiG-21 and its secret documents had fallen into China’s hands. Russia accused China of having information about the MiG-21, but China outright rejected the claim that the documents contained technical information.

How China Cloned Russia’s MiG-21: China built J-7 in 1964

In 1964, China built J-7 aircraft with the help of the same documents as the MiG-21. This aircraft looked exactly like a MiG-21. However, Chinese engineers had made some changes in its components so that it did not look like an exact copy of MiG-21. In a short time, J-7 fighter jets, which gave tough competition to Mig-21, became the pride of the Chinese army and their demand started increasing in many countries of the world.

China started selling these fighter jets to many countries of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, due to which Chinese defense exports increased, and the Chinese economy benefited by billions. With time, J-7 fighter jets kept getting upgraded, and today, their advanced version is known as F-7.

MiG-21 included in the Indian Air Force

India had bought MiG-21 from Russia in 1963. MiG-21 is called the flying wedge, which is known for its accurate strike in the air. Russia built the MiG-21 for the first time in 1955. India still has 2 squadrons of MiG-21. Although the MiG-21 is known for its safety records, this aircraft has also crashed twice. Now, Tejas aircraft is replacing the MiG-21 in the Indian Air Force.
