Developed from the Shenyang J-6, itself a Chinese-built version of the MiG-19, the Q-5 series was extensively operated in the ground attack role by the PLAAF & Navy till the final examples were withdrawn in 2017. The export version, known as the A-5, was supplied to Bangladesh, Myanmar, North Korea, Pakistan and Sudan. This one is now preserved as a show exhibit.
