ROC did not get because because of risk of RedChina spying

We dont have this problem. If Sinkie can get F35, no reason RMAF can not get provided we have enough funds. Maybe can get discount also

The amount of free stuff the US gave us (long range radar, Boeing drones, patrol aircraft upgrade) we can get it

Just need to say the magic words. We act as first line of defense against RedChina

Singkie is loyal us ally

F35 is for ally only...

For the input yes 🤦‍♀️ but not for final decision making and not forgotten to most important signature to allocate funds to the army itself

Even if f35 is offered to rmaf, is unlikely to have allocations from mof. Besides, pn and bn politicians avoid buying from the u.s.

Yes the LCA but the hawk actually can do more which is why the mudmovers is still operating. One of the best decision by the brast aircraft advance air combat with AIM missile firing capabilities.
MRCA - Multirole Combat Aircraft
So they can do all task.

How about postpone 5th Gen purchase until got more choices

Proceed with F15EX as new MRCA. Indon sudah sign MOU so we have a neighbour that can cross support

Not true

F35A costs is now comparable to 4.5 Generation jets not from Russia and China due to economies of scale. Might as well go for 5th Gen jets now

We will never buy Russian or Chinese

SG will not attack us. They will not attack anyone. That tiny island cannot survive any counterattack. Nowadays, suicide drones are very easy to get and are very effective. We can even shop for hypersonic weapons now.

RMAF needs to seriously study how drones are going to affect warfare in the future and perhaps rethink their future procurements.

Thrash this thinking. Anyone can attack anyone.

Sgs militay capabiliies far exceeds Msias.

One only needs to take a look at where MAF formations are placed in peninsula Msia to know where Msias worry is.

But yes. The 2 countries are more likely to cooperate than fight esp after Tuns era of politicians leave the scene
