Malaysia seems interested in buying around 20 SuperHornets to go along with their recently signed deal to buy 20 Su-30MKM fighter bombers from Russia.They really do have a unique arms purchase policy,somewhat similar to India-they already operate Mig-29s & F/A-18s.They have signed up to buy patrol craft from Germany,short range SAMs from Britain & 2 Scorpene class subs from France!!!
They shrewdly bet one side against the other -- just in case!
