Did you read the link?

It said for 34 IL-76 and 4 IL-78, but they didn't deliver all those planes to us.

They don't matter the content, They just see the title, If there are quizzable place, they will not miss it!!

While every now and then chinese rant about imports but look china is buying old and second hand planes from Russia.

Moment of truth.

Russian media said that China had in 2005 ordered 34 Il-76MD military transport aircraft and four Il-78MK air refueling. The total contract value was U.S. $ 1.0-1.5 billion. But the 38 heavy aircraft sales contract in fact since March 2006 had already been frozen. At the time, responsible for the production of these aircraft Tashkent, Uzbekistan Cheka Love aviation production association unwilling to accept the price offered by China and Russia refused to sign defense export production contract. The manufacturer believes that if the price according to agreement with the Chinese side execution of the contract, will result in a loss of about four hundred million U.S. dollars. The end of 2006, the Russian defense export contract, the company finally decided to replace the main execution business.

you paid 1.5 billion $ for three IL76?
what did you order with them gold? even the c 17 costs less

that was just deposits,
china signed 30+ new il76s with russia in 2005 and the price of every IL76 was 20 million usd .but russian couldn't provide new il76s due to can not produce one at that time..... then russian raised every il76's price to 29 million usd in 2009 and PLAAF was very very angry about the amount of 9 million usd added .
Now russia said that new Il476 just can provide until 2014.however,chinese Y20 will begin to deliver in 2014,really do not know PLAAF still need any russian new IL476 in 2014??
