The Sabre II Project was a project for the development of a joint fighter by China, Pakistan and the Grumman Aerospace Corporation in the late 1980s based on the Chinese F-7 fighter (MiG-21 derivative), which was abandoned in 1990 when Grumman pulled out after the Tiananmen Square protests in China in 1989. In 1984 the latest export version of the Chengdu F-7, an extensively upgraded form of the F-7B incorporating various Western systems and designated F-7M Airguard, was released. Pakistan was interested in developing and manufacturing an improved version of the F-7M to replace its large fleet of Shenyang F-6 and move Pakistan's aviation industry forward. Grumman Aerospace of the United States was contracted to do a 5 month feasibility study and in September 1987 the F-7 Sabre II was revealed. The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) started looking for a new fighter to replace their large fleet of Shenyang F-6, which were approaching the end of their service lives, in the late 1980s.
