Who do you think we need to engage to service the planes?

You really think it’s like car can service sendiri without paying anything to the manufacturer?

ATSC is to service the Russian jets lah

You really think service military jets is like you go mechanic bawah pokok?

Without official support, you think we can make our own parts, upgrade systems, etc.

It's a stop gap measure until we can afford latest planes as our military got a lot more priorities

The Mig29 really tak boleh pakai anymore while the SU30 are probably our the best we got

Then we have the Hawks which are being replaced with the Korean FA-50, a multi role jets similar to F16

Even with buying these second hand jets, a lot of people are complaining we waste money

Malaysia historically only buys US jets from F5E to Skyhawks. It was only when we need to replace them, Tun M went to Russia and brought MIGS29 but we faced problems with maintenance and the SU30s also will face the problem due to sanctions on Russia. We already made decision to buy the Koreans jets to replace our Hawks. The Koreans jets are based on US tech. If we buy China jets, we will face problems integration again like how we faced in the past with F18, Mig29 and SU30.
