(1970 till date)
The Shenyang J-5 / F-5 (Jianjiji-5 - Fighter-5) is a Chinese built single-seat jet interceptor and fighter aircraft derived from the Soviet MiG-17. The J-5 was exported as the F-5 with the NATO reporting name "Fresco".
The
Chinese developed F-5 into a two-seat trainer version of the MiG-17, designated
the Chengdu JJ-5 (Jianjiji Jiaolianji - Fighter Trainer or FT-5), by combining
the two-seat cockpit of the
MiG-15UTI, the VK-1A engine of the J-5, and the fuselage of the J-5A. All
internal armament was removed and a single Nudelman-Richter NR-23 23 mm
cannon was carried in a ventral pack.
Pakistan Air Force acquired FT-5s for use as advanced jet trainers / conversion aircraft.
