Abstract

The country's foremost but ageing multi-role combat aircraft have been given a new lease of life, for another 15 years. The New Straits Times has reliably learnt that the two squadrons of 18 Sukhoi Su-30MKM, based at Gong Kedak in Terengganu, are being given a full refurbishment package to the tune of RM2.2 billion, until 2035. This followed concerns by RMAF chief General Tan Sri Affendi Buang that 40 per cent of its assets required an immediate upgrade. The refurbishment package includes service life extension for the Flankers' airframe, avionics, weapons systems and overhaul of its engines.
