J9 is a double-engine heavy bird. its R&D started in 1960s,but aborted in early 1980s.

J9 aeroframe is quite like J10 and also has carnards.

In fact, J9 ,instead of Lavi, is the earliest "protomech" of J10

The J 9 looks more tlike the Phantom F4 to me than the J 10. The J 10 resembles the Lavi...no doubt.

....why do you think J9 looks more like Phatom?

frankly speaking, J9 has nothing like F4.

here is F4 Phantom

This is more of Foxhound and 1.42.
Badguy btw now dont tell EF is a copied from J-9. EF is a Delta wing canard AC. Chinese struggles to couple both the techs of canard and delta wing but failed because of lack of expertise in the AC designing.
