The Chendu J-7G is an improved variant of the J-7E, which first flew in 2002.
Equipped with a new KLJ-6E PD radar, reportedly a SY-80 radar, which means "Heavenly Eagle" in Chinese.
This radar is a Chinese development of the Italian Pointer-2500 rangefinder radar used on the Q-5M, and the Italian radar itself was a development of the Pointer radar, the Italian copy of the Israeli Elta EL/M-2001.
Compared to the Italian Grifo series radar on Pakistani F-7s, the SY-80 weighs 60 kg more and also has a shorter range of 30 km.
However, the radar has one special feature that the Italian radars do not have: it is fully compatible with helmet-mounted sights (HMS), allowing the radar and HMS to work together to guide PL-8/9 air-to-air missiles.
One 30 mm cannon was removed and a more powerful motor installed.
