It kinda reminds me of that jet in the movie Firefox w/Clint.

Cool.
Now, how many hours per month are Malaysian pilots going train with their lovely new toys?

The Malaysian military is kind of like the Finish military in that they go after the best equipment on the market that is within their price range.
They have aircraft from the US, Russia, Britain, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, and Indonesia; ground-equipment from all corners of the world; but most of their naval assets are British, primarily because they have a long relationship of cooperation and support with the Brits, going back to WW2.

What RMAF doesn't have is the numbers but with Su-30 MKM, Mig-29s, F/A-18s Hornets, F-5 tigers and BAE Hawks they have a mighty airforce. I wonder how Singapore and Australia is going to react to that.
BTW RMAF Mig 29s were known to have beaten the crap out of the British RAF Tornados in friendly exercises. Their level of skill and training isnt all that bad.
