Here's a list I compiled primarily using Scramble, but it has some questions and some new assumptions.

So please feel free to give insight in what you think should be changed in this list. Replacing questionmarks and other nonreliable claims with concrete data would be superb, if possible.

Addition to above: We are fairly certain there is one J16 active, and it was rumored recently it is 3rd division, 7th regiment. Which would mean its J7g went someplace else, most probably replacing some older J7 (or even that lone, obsolete j8b) regiment? How come that j8b unit keeps being mentioned, it should be super old by now...

so, the total number of old J7 regiments is probably not higher than 14. And actually, it may be as low as 12, if j8b regiment is still active and if the Scramble.nl list was not amended when j10b regiments were added. Was it?

Does anyone have any answers to these questions ?

. Not confirmed about bases but most likely Shanghai Base.

This regiment was one of the first to receive J-10s, starting in 2005. By now, they've already been flying J-10s for 12 years.

Shanghai Base would be interesting, since this Base already has 4 Brigades !

The above list doesn't take into account retirement of some su27.

Also, any corrections to my own list a few posts above? Or answers to questions I posed?

Right but in proportion remains a detail on 2000 fighters... but seems the first lot of Su-27, 20 Su-27SK + 6 Su-27UBK retired, make sense according an enough short service life and delivered in 1992 - 93.

For the rest all is good AF have quite sure at less 400 J-10 and very possible these 50 J-16 delivered or in production...

China Air Force three generations of fighters have exceeded Europe and the total number of rolling Japan and South Korea

If you count the J-11 and Su 27, then it is more shame, and China has five regiment fighter J-11A fighters, seven regiment fighter 11B fighters, two regiment su 27 fighters and four regiment of the Soviet 30 fighters, a total of 432 Frame fighter J-11 / Su 27 fighters. In addition, China has two groups of 48 Fighter 16 fighters, one and a half of about 30 J-15 fighters, Su series fighters total of about 510. With the latest news exposure, China has deployed about 16 J-20 fighters, count the already had 9 flight test type, then, J-20 fighters already have a regimentIn recent years, the Chinese Air Force and the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force compared the news is very much, but in fact, the Chinese Air Force, whether it is the number or quality is not the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force can, and now the Chinese Air Force than the number of only the United States Air Force, even the Russian Air Force or the entire European Air Force together, the number and quality of combat troops is not as good as the Chinese Air Force. Not to mention the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force, and simply not a level of combat effectiveness, and the Asia-Pacific region, the Chinese air force and Japan and South Korea's tactical power is basically equal, and strategic forces and China than the United States and Russia , No other country in the world and China than the capital

In terms of the number of fighters, the number of the third generation fighter of the Chinese Air Force exceeded the sum of the entire European Air Force. The Chinese army has 10 regiment of the F-10A fighter, two regiment of the J--10B fighter and a regiment training aircraft + performance aircraft, each regiment has 28 J--10 fighters, has served the number of 364, in addition also has about A group has not served the J--10B fighters, a total of 392, only this figure is basically the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force quite, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force only 201 F-15,54 F-4 and 92 F-2, a total of only 347 frame, there is no China has been serving the J-10 fighter and more.

If you count the F-11 and Su 27, then it is more shame, and China has five regiment fighter 11A fighters, seven regiment fighter 11B fighters, two regiment su 27 fighters and four regiment of the Soviet 30 fighters, a total of 432 Frame fighter J-11 / Su 27 fighters. In addition, China has two groups of 48 J- 16 fighters, one and a half of about 30 J-15 fighters, Su series fighters total of about 510. With the latest news exposure, China has deployed about 16 J-20 fighters, count the already had 9 flight test type, then, J-20 fighters already have a regiment.

In addition, the Chinese army also has nine regiment JH-7 "Flying Leopard" fighters a total of 216, a total of 902 third-generation fighter aircraft and 216 Flying Leopard and nearly 30 fourth-generation fighter, the total number has reached 1150 or so, The entire European countries, advanced fighters together only 1050 or so, while the Russian Air Force's third-generation fighters are only about 820, and there is no fourth-generation fighter, the T-50 distance service at least 3 to 4 years, and to Three or four years after the Chinese army's F-20 and J-31 number should have more than 200, and even more than the Russian Air Force 800 third-generation fighter even stronger on the many.

And Japan in addition to tactical air force is not worth mentioning the other, in the transport force, China has about 120 transport Y-8/9 series and Y-20 , 20 Il-76 , and will be more than 20 per year Speed service transport 20 large transport aircraft. Large-scale early warning aircraft in China at least 10, medium-sized air police 500 and air police 200 total of more than 30, in addition to large-scale maritime patrol aircraft, China's other leading China. And China also has three divisions of eight groups of H-6K bombers, the total number of more than 120, a performance cast thousands of tons of bombs and thousands of cruise missiles, against Japan simply effortlessly. Objectively speaking, to deal with Japan is not the task of the Chinese Air Force, and in the near future, only by the Chinese navy can easily deal with Japan, the United States is our biggest goal
