gripen NG....
if want to replace hawk 208 and F-5E then ok. maybe around 12 (minimum of 1 full squadron)units will do
but SH mesti beli. we need a great naval strike to cover southern chinese sea.
so 12 JAS-39NG and 12 F/A-18F is good deal

combat radius;
rafale 1,800 km
typhoon 1,390 km on air defence with 10-min loiter
f16 550 km on a hi-lo-hi mission with six 1,000 lb (450 kg) bombs
super hornet 722 km
gripen NG 1300 km with six AAMs + drop tanks, and 30 min on station
Mig 35 1000 km
we need an aircraft that can operate more than 1000km i think since sabah and sarawak quite far,
