"The process will be carried out in the near future, but we also need to wait for Kuwait to receive the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets they purchased from the US. That's a key factor.

US Navy already got rid of theirs. US Marines are the only users and end date already set. Almost every other user already in process of getting replacement planes.

Kuwait Hornets were built from 1991-1993 ie 32-34 years old.

How many more years RMAF want to use? Old planes will crash more often.
