U.S.-supplied F-6 aircraft
Not really. If the US had supplied F-6s they would have been the old Douglas Skyray naval fighters of the early '50s.
The Pak aircraft are Shenyang F-6s which are Chinese-copy MiG-19s.
When F-7PG sale was announced back in March 2001 it was reported to be for "four squadrons" so more than 22 aircaft will be eventually involved.
And the upgraded F-7/Mig-21 is not as out of date as the 1955 first flight would indicate. With the new wing and new engine it's probably a F-20 Tigershark or IAI Kfir equivilent- late 70s standard, and still reasonable 2d line equipment today.
What he did not say was that the new jet's weapon stations are patterned after those on the American-built F-16s Pakistan bought before they were hit with U.S. sanctions in 1990. How did the Chinese know how to match the F-16 fittings? Because Pakistan secretly transferred one to China for reverse engineering.
Dunno what he's talking about. If it's missile launch rails or store hardpoints this is not exactly 21st Century technology. And the Chicoms have been able to build Sidewinder compatible hardpoints since they accquired a couple of Sidewinders back in the '50s.
Thought the Skyrays were designated F-4D's, called "Fords" by Navy airdales. They were replaced by the F-4 Phantom II.
