I think it's time for a separate thread on this topic since first of all it would be a major development and second, as it seems, the rumours are getting more concrete!

Therefore based on this question asked in the "Ask anything" thread should be the starting point of the discussion:

There are talking since dec 2022 on Weibo about a new round of military reforms including the Navy Aviation transferring its land-based fighters to the Air Force, as well as the Army potentially disbanding group army level air-defense drigades to either transfer their HQ-16 to the Air Force or forming theather level air-defense unit with more integrated command with radar, SAM and fighter units.
There were also articles in Chinese talking about this, although they not usually considered as credible military information sources (so I won't post the link)

Do we have newer informations about this ? on the accuracy of the claims and how things are getting

If I’m not mistaken, this is finally a clear proof, the PLAN Naval Aviation is transferring assets to the PLAAF: At least according to the official Weibo site from the Eastern Theater Command, the 4th Naval Air Brigade has been transferred.
Can anyone confirm this news since it would indeed be a mayor development … ??
