First rumored in early 2010 that PLAN acquired at least one Ka-31 AEW helicopter for evaluation. A total of 9 were reportedly to have been ordered. The helicopters are expected to be stationed on-board the Russian and indigenous aircraft carriers which are under construction. The first helicopters were delivered in November 2010. http://rusnavy.com/news/navy/index.php?ELEMENT_ID=10870.
