One way to contain South Korea is to export J-7 fighters to North Korea, which for the North Korean Air Force, the arrival of dozens of J-H-7 fighters can greatly improve the combat capability of the Air Force and significantly improve its combat attack capability. The range and missile range of the J-H-7 fighter can cover every corner of South Korean territory, whether it is a sea or land strike, it can pose a threat to South Korea. The J-7 can also carry a variety of subsonic and supersonic anti-ship missiles, and even if the South Korean Navy is strong, the North Korean Air Force has the ability to strike South Korean ships outside the defense zone. For North Korea, this move can not only enhance its own air strike capability, but also demonstrate its military strength and enhance its influence in the region. It has also heightened tensions in the peninsula region, causing concern and dissatisfaction among South Korea and its allies. Joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States have intensified, while a series of measures have been taken to counter the North Korean military threat.
The purchase and export of these J-7 fighters has also attracted attention. Some in the international community have criticized North Korea for its massive problems in terms of economy and the well-being of its people, while investing heavily in the military. This not only wastes national resources, but also exacerbates regional tensions and is not conducive to the realization of peace and stability.
