The Shenyang J-8II NATO reporting name: Finback B is a high-speed, high-altitude Chinese-built single-seat interceptor fighter aircraft. The solid nose J-8 was finally realized in the J-8II (Finback-B), which was based on the layout of the J-8I (same improvement is like the J-6 to Q-5). The radar chosen for the J-8 was the Type 204 mono-pulse fire-control radar, a primitive ranging radar for daylight within-visual-range operations
