Air: Any codename for the Chinese F-7?

It's a variant of the MiG-21; would Fishbed be extended to it?

Yes. Still has the delta wing, after all (the reason for the NATO codename). OTOH, it can also be refered to by its export brand name "Airguard". The "Skybolt" is the Pakistani-exclusive version with NATO-quality avionics and radar systems.
