This video breaks down the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF)—how it’s structured, how it fights, and what that means for American and allied warfighters. It’s part of my China Threat series and is designed to help soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and guardians understand their future adversary’s capabilities and doctrine.

Free members can watch the video on YouTube.
