Febuary/March Kasau(AF Chief) will negotiate for SU35 in Rusia

Because Saudi warn us about the effort needed to took care of the plane and so RMAF decide they needed a tougher bird thus the Hawk

Why change last minute? $ problem or the plane does not meet RMAF requirements?

another reason why the tornado was't selected was because the complexity of variable geometry wing aircraft and the tornado was never a true air superiority aircraft (despite being the first MRCA, it is more geared towards low-level,deep penetration strike)

The only true mrca is f18.

care to explain more..??

No MRCA and AEW But…

Marhalim Abas January 3, 2014 Malaysia - RMAF

KUALA LUMPUR: Both of RMAF most capital extensive programmes – MRCA and AEW – has been put into the backburner.
RMAF chief Jen Tan Sri Rodzali when confirming this today said there was no indication on when both projects will be revived.

He was answering queries from Malaysian Defence on the status of both projects following the announcement of the 2014 budget. See budget announcement.

However, all is not doom and gloom. Jen Rodzali said the air force obtained the allocation for the procurement of the Pilatus PC-7 Mk 2 turboprop trainers and the upgrades for both the Nuri and C130H Hercules fleet.

He did not mentioned numbers for the Mk 2s but I was told earlier that it will be a dozen or so, rounding up the fleet to 30 aircraft. As for the upgrades of Nuri and Hercules, Jen Rodzali said the commitment was for the whole fleet (15 Hercules and 15 Nuris) but he did not elaborate further.

As I had mentioned earlier, the Nuri upgrade project will most probably involved re-zeroing the airframe and the installation of a glass cockpit while the Hercules project will probably involved installation of cockpit and navigation improvements to meet evolving air traffic management regulations.

Meanwhile, Jen Rodzali said that a single Eurocopter EC725 Cougar will be on static display at the Singapore Aerospace show scheduled on the second week of next month. At the last show, RMAF Mig-29N Fulcrum aerobatic display team took part in the daily air displays.

It must be noted that both projects (additional Mk 2s and upgrades for the Nuri and Hercules) were holdovers from the Ninth Malaysian Plan (2005 to 2010). As we are now in the tail end of the 10th Malaysian Plan (ending in mid-2015) as I had stated earlier that the MRCA and AEW programmes will most probably be funded in the 11th Malaysian Plan.
