Zahid: Plan to replace MiG-29 fleet on hold

GEMAS: There are no plans to purchase new military assets in the near future.
This includes replacements for the Royal Malaysian Air Force's MiG-29N Fulcrum aircraft, said Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Instead, the ministry will conduct a study for possible replacements for the multi-role combat aircraft for future purposes.


Zahid said the government had more important things to focus on under the 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP).

Speaking after opening the Kompleks Mutiara Pernama at Camp Syed Sirajuddin here, yesterday, he said the Fulcrums would be replaced when the need arose. It was recently reported that the ministry was looking into replacing the MiG-29N fleet, which was purchased in 1995.

Five aircraft had been identified as leading contenders for the contract -- France's Dassault Aviation's Rafale; the United States' Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet; Europe's Eurofighter Typhoon; the Swedish JAS- 39 Gripen and the Russian Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E.


Zahid said the ministry would continue with the other planned purchases under the 10MP, including second-generation offshore patrol vessels for the Royal Malaysian Navy.

Earlier, Zahid said the new Kompleks Mutiara Pernama offered those staying there the chance to purchase goods at cheaper prices.

"The chain of Pernama stores nationwide sells 370 products at cheaper prices through an annual RM5 million subsidy."


The RM10 million, three-storey complex on a 0.65ha site has 22 business premises.

RMAF have to wait more longer time to get their new Jet Fighter , but at least RMN will get their OPV under 10th Malaysia Plan.

Wait till LIMA for a real deal.

MIG will be replace in 2015, so there is at least 4 years for anything to happen, my take is maybe the top brass will wait for Typhoon T3 to be fully ready!

LHD
"patrol Vessel"(the one with MM40blockII,VL-SAM and Aegis-esque radar.that kind of "patrol vessel" )
transport helos
AWACS

as much as i wanted a new fulcrum replacement,we still have something more pressing to buy

ZDK-03 AEW.made in china for export(don't know if the radome or the "shield-thingy" can rotate though)

Pakistan already acquired 4 of these AEW to complement their existing Erieye

Wasn't that our military top guns were going for the 1 plane, multiple setup solutions as to cut costs? Or did I hear it wrong?

no.we love diversification.even though it made the guy at the logistics feeling like wanting to shoot themselves

I know this is a little bit late, but better late then never!

I've always wondered something about the honour guards; Why are they using M16's? Shouldn't they be using the Lee Enfield rifle instead considering it was the first rifle we used to defend the nation?

The yanks uses the M1 Garand for obvious reasons and the Brits uses their current service rifle (L85 now, used to be L1A1).

The m16 was neither the first rifle we used nor is it our current service rifle. So, what's the deal?

share some pics of NC295, landed in Halim airbase (JKT), recently
base production of this aircraft will be moved to Indonesia.
