The background story is purely fictional
In 1993, the East African country of Saharania urgently needed a cheap and durable fighter jet to cope with the turbulent domestic and international situation. The government inspected fighter jets from multiple countries but did not purchase them. In June 1994, the eastern port city of the country was occupied by anti-government armed forces. The government chose to cooperate with China and imported 12 J-7 MS fighter jets in December of the same year.
The J-7 MS fighter jet is an improved version based on the J-7 M fighter jet developed by China for the Saharania region. New turbojet engines, new fire control radars, observation radars, new avionics systems, and new jamming bomb deployment devices have been installed. At the same time, according to the needs of the Sa side, the leading edge flaps and helmet sight were removed, and an automatic cannon was added. Make the air combat capability barely reach the level of the American F-16A, while the unit price is only about 2 million US dollars, and the maintenance difficulty is much lower than that of fighter jets in the same class.
In May 1999, the J-7 MS fighter jet achieved its first victory in the Saharania Civil War, shooting down a French SA313 helicopter and conducting multiple airstrikes on rebel bases. In January 2000, facing the invasion of three enemy planes from the north, two J-7 MS fighter jets took off to confront the enemy, shooting down two MiG-23ML planes and one of their own. In 2001, two J-7 MSs were destroyed by air raids. As of 2020, there are still four J-7 MS aircraft with flight capability.
