This CCTV capture confirms that at least one of the three Ukrainian IL-78 Midas air refueling tankers is operational. Still, the overall PLAAF tanker fleet is fairly small, consists of an additional 12 H-6U (H-6 mod). This small fleet is capable of supporting a limited set of air operations but not a sustained campaign.
It is a start never-the-less, albeit a slow one.
