		Currently, the PLAAF is developing its own tanker aircraft (which it has lacked) by modifying old Soviet planes such as the Tu-16 Badger (known as the H-6 in the PLAAF).
		The PLAAF is thus predicted to be modernized by 2010.
		The markings of the PLAAF are a red star in front of a red band, it is slightly similar to the insignia of the United States Air Force.

		However, since the early 1990s, the PLAAF has begun a program of modernization, motivated in large parts by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the possibility of military conflict with the Republic of China on Taiwan, perhaps also involving the United States.
		Although the PLAAF received significant support from Western nations in the 1980s when China was seen as a counterweight to Soviet power, this support ended in 1989 as a result of the Chinese crackdown on the Tiananmen protests of 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
		The PLAAF is also developing the J-XX as a possible counter to the upcoming generation of Western fighters.

		PLAAF histories are unclear as to whether or not their goal of 290,000 airmen was realized by 1954.
		In the case of the PLAAF the prevalence of regional service and normally ample manpower distributions among the military regions has meant that stringent centralized control of all air force personnel is not viewed as especially necessary.
		Although the PLAAF began deploying the F-8 in the early-1980s, it was unsatisfied with the aircraft.

		The PLAAF enjoys an advantage in the fact that local aircraft manufactures are capable of producing this type.
		The matchup goes to the PLAAF because the Challenger 601 uses turbofan engines rather than turboprops, providing better performance and a smoother ride, although the F50 is a more versatile aircraft.

		In cases where a consensus has been reached to exploit a foreign channel, the PLAAF probably identifies key international suppliers and produces a comprehensive assessment of their capabilities to either develop the weapon system and/or their products which are likely to meet the desired specifications.
		Specifically, in some cases the PLAAF seems to be influenced by institutional and/or analytical misperceptions to support its transformation into a capable fighting force by procuring similar weapon systems USAF either has; may have; or is scheduled to introduce into the future.

		Although the PLAAF states that its secondary mission is supporting ground and naval forces, it has never successfully carried out direct support to the ground troops and officially states that it can only support them indirectly.
		The PLAAF still describes a joint exercise as having aircraft airborne at the same time that its own SAM and AAA units or that some ground force units are active in a different area.
		For example, according to a May 1998 Xinhua report from Guangzhou, the PLAAF was to conduct inspection flights in the coastal waters off Guangdong Province, as well as the Zhujiang River delta area, in order to enforce the May to September fishing ban.

		The traditional organization of the PLAAF into five groups of aviation units, anti-aircraft artillery (AAA), air defence units, surface-to-air missile (SAM) units, airborne units and supporting units underwent a change.[7] Whereas the earlier organization of the PLAAF was based on the Soviet experience, current efforts reflect several features of Western influences.

		These circumstances are a product of constrained strategic thinking in China about the role of airpower, the lack of funds needed for a comprehensive modernization program, logistics and maintenance problems, the limited training available to its pilots, and the absence of a capability to develop and manufacture advanced airpower weapon systems.
		Although some modern aircraft will be introduced into the PLAAF inventory during the next ten years, the rate and scale of these acquisitions will remain incremental and demonstrably insufficient to redefine the regional airpower balance.

		It was not until 1957 that the PLAAF began to develop and teach its own doctrine and make changes to Soviet doctrine, based on the PLAAF’s experience in the Korean War and operations against the Nationalists on the islands off of Zhejiang Province.
		Today, the administrative structure of the PLAAF consists of four major departments (headquarters, political, logistics, and equipment) that reflect the organizational structure of the four general departments (general staff, political, logistics, and armament).
		However, as the PLAAF continues to downsize the number of divisions and regiments, some of the remaining air corps may continue the trend of the past decade and be changed to bases.

		However due to its 1970's design as well as two underpowered Rolls-Royce Spey MK202/WS-9 turbofans (20,515lb with afterburning), it was rejected by PLAAF who is in favor of Su-30MKK and has become the first dedicated maritime attack aircraft for PLA Naval Aviation.
		$1.85 billion contract was signed by Chinese and Russian military leaders in late 1999 to purchase 38 Su-30MKK fighter bombers for PLAAF, with the first batch of 10 delivered by KNAAPO on December 20, 2000, and the second batch of 10 delivered on August 21, 2001.
		The acquisition of this F-15E class fighter bomber by PLAAF would inevitably tip the military balance in the North East Asia.
