However, it has aviation divisions, air defense brigades, radar brigades, stations, communications, warehouses, and many other units.

The Air Force’s aviation division was transformed into a brigade. At present, a division aviation regiment was merged with a field station. Two regiment-level units formed a brigade. The number of combat aircraft was about one and a half regiments and four brigades. This station is currently affiliated to the brigade and is not independent. In the past, the Air Force had attempted to establish a station with independent support capabilities. Simply put, the station was separated from the aviation force, and both A regiment and B regiment could go to C station.
