People's Liberation Army Air Force
The People's Liberation Army Air Force operates a large and varied fleet of some 3,010+ aircraft, of which around 2,100 are combat aircraft (fighter, attack and bombers). However, due to the lack of transparency within the PLA, quantities and actual status are disclosed. According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, PLAAF combat pilots acquire an average of 100-150 flying hours per year.
