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.
