QUOTE(Wedchar2912 @ Jun 16 2025, 05:10 PM) Really? Until there is not much Diff when comparing latest of 2025 vs 1980s? If madani cut all of petrol subsidy ,sure can afford new jet. But are you willing to bare with it? ,please do note that our military is almost become a joke compared to neighboring countries. This is just a stop gap purchase.No wonder USA don't need to develop new fighter jets and allowing others to lead. And why F14 can beat all fighter jets. LOL. Either way, I don't know any better since I don't follow weaponry news. I hope Madani didn't throw money into a hole or into his cronies pocket only. All these will be paid by us the taxpayers. |

QUOTE(Wedchar2912 @ Jun 16 2025, 08:20 PM) well, I guess it will have to depend on the costing... seems like the plan is to get like 30 of such planes... if we can get them for the cheap, like 10 bucks each, sure makes sense.... Of course cheap or foc ....if not we also won't be muka tebal go ask for it .with our military budget allocation, you see also will laugh what to buy with it. At most give you buy few attack heli and few amored car and light weapons. Want say rm80 million a pop fighter jet is out of questions.But if it is at full price of like 80 million, now that is silly especially as stop-gap. May as well aim for latest and greatest and order like 15 from USA and 20 from China... even things out and long term may be cheaper and more effective. (more from china cos I would guess China's cheaper and better get a few more for parts too) Wedchar2912 liked this post
