within striking range of Manila dan Makassar AFB..

Got a source from inside!
the will likely no 2nd batch MKM

still very far from them.
mayb buy a few brahmos to add some spice.

kan dah ada Irbis-E radar.
perhaps some money to further upgrade it?

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

brahmos itu pun minimum aje.
what i want the most is storm shadow missile.

hahahaha
Maybe they like the Rafale AESA?

boleh ker?
letak RBE2aa kat mkm?

that's why I said maybe
hahahaha

my friend(works with TUDM) said there was whisper of 2nd MKM purchases any truth to this whisper?

The biggest rumors come from trade-in of the old migs with 6 MKM with a discounted price.
Our 1st batch MKM might get some upgrade as well.

ah right, i have another question
what would they do with our old mig? i always wondered how they make money from that

not sure they might refurbish it and sell to other nation or they are going to use it themselves.

would other nation buy an old model of MIG?

there would. Myanmar or any other exsoviet country for example.

depend!
Pinoy also interested!
it is a bargain as the MIG is heavily upgrade!

if they are heavily upgraded could it still compete with latest model?

because of airframe hours and still limited tech can be push into the old can!
any country that buys our MIG need to upgrade the air frame, and some of new tech can't be fitted be it.
it is quite costly for TUDM and can be prove cost effective to the budget.
Instead we buy new tech
