in july,only 4 out of 28 Russian fighters jets  was able to fly. meanwhile 4 out of 18 mkm was able to fly. so in the Merdeka parade there will be mix MIG and MKM???

i though MIG was not in used and in store.anyways, congrats on our menhan on juggling issue

MIG tu dah pencen so totally tolak tepi, tak tau kenapa itu orang instead letak 10 mig dalam equation lagi

if you watch carefully there is 6 sukhoi this morning
5 in formation 1 chaser

like I said the new contractor has begin continuing the currently halted jobs to continue maintain the jets
but even before this there always more the 4 MKM flying

the legendary 4 MKM is the 4 MKM fresh out of maintenance

Am I one of the minority here feel our air force really need reinforcement ASAP?

Really facepalm looking at the current situation.

Just issue some kind of bonds and raise adequate fund, and up our jets to 60 pieces at the very least. This kind of money Malaysia still can afford.

How frequently we are sending jets for interception mission?

Without MiG, then all we have is SU-30 for interception mission, right?

These 6 sukhoi jets going to have hard life and die faster .

But if talking about special funding for this, well, there are many many also critically urgent infrastructure in other areas that Msia needs to spend on. Fast jets are very low on the priority list.

Like I said before, this kind of money we have to spend.

Guard our house first before talking about the interior things like kitchen, bedroom, reading room. At least have minimal credible defense. 18 sukhois are just like for ceremonial/friendly interception purpose and not for defense/hot battle purpose. How many rounds can these 18 sukhois and 8 F/A-18 fight?

Learn from ancient Malaysia history, we might lose territories in exchange for protection, if thing gone wrong.

It's unimaginable for the economy as of Malaysia size cannot squeeze some billions for its territorial safety and integrity.

It's a terrible failure if current brand new clean government cannot make this right during their first term.

Su-57 and MiG-35 Land Russian Orders During Army 2018
by Vladimir Karnozov
August 27, 2018, 10:33 AM

During the Army 2018 military-technical forum held August 21-26 at Kubinka, west of Moscow, the Russian defense ministry signed a total of 32 contracts with 20 Russian manufacturers. The value of the orders exceeded 130 billion roubles (nearly $2 billion) and calls for the delivery of 600 pieces of equipment and the modernization of 1,500 more.

The signing took place on August 22, followed by a press briefing by deputy defense minister Alexei Krivoruchko, who commented, “Fulfilment of these contracts will see the Russian armed forces taking the most modern weapons, with a focus on precision strike systems and munitions for them.”

He did not release any figures except one. With previous agreements taken into account, the Russian defense ministry shall receive 15 Sukhoi Su-57 fifth-generation fighters. “We find this airplane as state-of-the-art," Krivoruchko said. "We shall receive 15 such aircraft new from the factory, with the first one due next year. This aircraft is a design success as it surpasses all of its foreign analogues, has undergone all sorts of trials, and gained some combat experience.” The initial production batch will be followed by shipments of more aircraft in improved versions that are now in development. In particular, the customer expects an upgraded variant, now undergoing flights trials, to become available in quantities from 2023.

Also speaking at the briefing, United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) president Yuri Slyusar said that judging by their price-performance ratios, the Su-57 and MiG-35 represent the best solution in their classes, respectively. He described the contracts signed on August 22 as those for quantity production of both types. The Su-57 will provide the base for an aircraft family, as the Su-27 did, he added. “The Su-57 is a basic platform that will develop, undergo modernization, and re-engining. In the process, we will install more and more advanced systems, so as to expand the combat capabilities and functionality of the baseline aircraft. This shall shape the future of our aviation for many years ahead.”

Touching on the Su-57, the manufacturer stressed the employment of artificial intelligence, wide use of composite materials, and the ability to strike heavily defended targets, including control centers handling aviation operations. “Technology-wise, launching the Su-57 into production shall help us make a leap forward, as we will be mastering new technologies pertaining to the next-generation aircraft,” said Slyusar.

The UAC president further said that by adding contracts for Su-57 and MiG-35 quantity production to those already awarded for the 4++ generation fighters such as the Su-30SM, Su-34, and Su-35, the Russian defense ministry has increased the workload for national industry. Moreover, the initial domestic orders for the two latest aircraft types could influence foreign clients. “Both aircraft types have some export potential,” said Slyusar.

Although there is no official announcement on figures for the long-awaited MiG-35 order, industry sources claimed the initial contract is only for six aircraft. The MiG-35 will be produced at RAC MiG factory in Lukhovitsy, Moscow Region. It has been reported that this first batch may be delivered to the "Strizhi" (Swifts) aerobatic team, which is based at Kubinka and currently flies MiG-29s.

Selected foreign guests were shown production specimens of both the Su-57 and MiG-35 in the hangars at Kubinka. A pair of Su-57 development prototypes flew from another airfield for a 10-minute flight performance over the base on the opening day of the event. Neither type was on show during the two trade and three public days that followed. Army 2018 included a daily flight program involving up to 20 aircraft, including the six Chengdu J-10 fighters of the PLAAF’s "August 1st" aerobatic team, with 30 more aircraft on static display.

Contrary to Mat Sabu claim it was actually all along six units MKM and not four that are still operational and have not reached the 10 years mandatory service based from RMAF official statement responding to Mat Sabu claim.

Because we are not openly honest with our announcements of such things
Based on our economy, we can only operate about 36 fast jets and not the best and latest models either

But if talking about special funding for this, well, there are many many also critically urgent infrastructure in other areas that Msia needs to spend on. Fast jets are very low on the priority list.
Very good point that most people miss

Only if needed, there is 2 plane on standby for interception in every Air base

What you mean honest annoucement the PTU has said the MIG retired since 2 years ago?
so if mat sabu said it become honest and the PTU or Hisham automatically lie?

Ready 30? Less?

To me feels like that is enough for Msia. Or is even that too taxing on aircraft life and costs?

Just curious sorry.
2 years ago the PTU said it will be gradually taken out of service

And admitted that they have been slowly grounding the jets since 2013

All the while talking about upgrading

Only confirming all Migs were out of service last year IINM

It's confusing even for defence news follower like us, never mind average public

Not sure whether this is open secret or not, we budgeted and spent wrongly since decades ago. I know some teachers who said they were allocated more budget than necessary and end up must use all the budget for unplanned things like attending paid courses or famous lawatan sambil belajar.
