Retired British military pilots have been recruited by the Chinese regime to teach its armed forces how to defeat Western warplanes, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said.

Around 30 former fast jet and helicopter pilots have been attracted to help train China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) with lucrative compensation packages of about $270,000 a year, UK media quoted defence officials as saying.
