PETALING JAYA: The Ministry of Defence (Mindef) will continue the plan to purchase 18 light combat aircraft, said its minister, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.
He said the procurement of all 18 aircraft had been approved by the previous administration. “We want the current Cabinet to approve what was approved by the previous administration.“The acquisition of light combat aircraft still remains at 18 and hopefully, as soon as possible, but it needs to go through certain processes," he told reporters after a working visit at Subang Air Base, here, today.
Thus far, 80 per cent of exhibitors have expressed commitment to participate in LIMA '23 which is the largest air and maritime show. The last time it was held was in 2019,” he said. According to him, the LIMA '23 exhibition also provided Mindef and the Malaysian Air Forces the opportunity to look at defence assets from abroad, in addition to meeting and having strategic defence diplomacy.
