A MiG-23ML will be way better, as it'll have significant numbers of flares (instead of the 12 the M has), even better radar, an uprated engine, lighter airframe, flatter wing sweep angle and higher AoA and G-load. What that amounts to is more reliable use of R-23s, better turning, acceleration, climbrate, and snappier handling.

As for variants the J-7I would be archaic and arguably weaker than the Razbam Mig-19P in every way except running for its life. The J-7D & J-7C would be pretty close to our Mig-21 in DCS, and then there are models like the J-7G which are basically Chinese F-16A's and that's about where they cap out. Don't expect any advanced BVR capabilities.

The aircraft with new undercarriage and folding wings of greater area, differed from the MiG-29 production model. The first MiG-29K took to the skies on 23 July 1988.
It's a travesty what Gaijin did to the MiG-29 this patch, even the 9-12 is a piece of shit now. All Fulcrums have turned from the second best dogfighter to a glorified MiG-21, no energy retention, no nose authority at low speed, just one good turn and then you're down to 500kph from Mach.
인도군의 MiG-21가 한 세대 이전의 파키스탄군 소속 F-86에게 박살난 적이 있는데 공중전 중 격추가 아니라 소련으로부터 MiG-21의 인도를 막 마치고 격납고에서 정비를 받던 도중 파키스탄군의 F-86이 그 기지를 급습하면서 MiG-21은 뜨지도 못하고 파괴된 것이다
