The PLA Air Force celebrates its 77th anniversary on November 11.
The Air Force was created on November 11, 1949 after the victory of the Chinese Communist Party in the Civil War. The Soviet Union played a central role in their creation and armament.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, China began to modernize its air force, purchasing Su-30 fighter jets from Russia and controlling the licensed production of the Su-27. Later, China ended the contract for the supply of Russian fighter jets and began to produce on its own based on technologies received from the Russian Federation.
For such a father ®. China. news.
