Hey, i havent been in this forum for a looooooooooooooooong time. Anyway, a friend of mine wanted to know what's the Chinese air force inventory (how much of which combat aircraft do they have). I've tried to find out, but the sources i've studied tell everything about the Chinese Air Force except for its inventory. Does anyone know about the Chinese AF inventory? thanx in advance.


P.S. i already know that china will have 200 Su-27s after 95 of them are delivered. (so far, china has 105 Su-27s) also, some sources say that china has close to 1,000 Shenyang F-7s. Is that true? One more thing: A few sources stated that china wants to buy Su-37s from Russia. The chinese folks are supposedly willing to pay $100 mil per unit. Any info to back any of this up???

Today, the PLA Air Force consists of 330,000 personnel, operating some 3,500 aircraft, over 1,000 surface-to-air missile systems, and several thousand anti-aircraft artillery. As a result of China’s ongoing force reduction and military modernisation, the size of the PLA Air Force has been decreasing since the mid-1980s, with most of its obsolete aircraft based on the 1950s-era Soviet designs being retired from service.

Edit: google PLAAF orbat. It generates a few hits. The numbers/types the PLAAF employ are rather nebulous.
