malaysia might run into money issue to buy and maintain. 5th gen is a make up of many systems, just the fighter plane itself cost a fortune. The cheapest to maintain will still be the SU-57, it is not really full stealth because the real RAM coating is extremely expensive and maintainance nightmare, the Russian has to cut corners due to war and limited research

QUOTE(Raddus @ Nov 25 2025, 12:05 PM) I think by then 5th gen also become mainstream and cheaper F35A and J35 is becoming cheaper than some 4.5gen fighter because its being mass produced in thousands F35A and J35 still very high in price. As far as i know China is not in any hurry to fulfil any international order, F35A sales really depending on US mood, it will go up because of rare earth price and the price paid by every country is really different, like tiers. China on the other hand now prefer cash or gold and which friend tiers. those barter trade days using palm oil are over. Even Iran trying to buy J-10 China told them to fucuk off. Maybe Russia still ok with palm oil trade
