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.
The Malaysians are going to face the same problems that the Indian airforce faced last decade.Too many aircraft with little commonality of systems & at a higher cost since they operate only around 20 of each of the major jets.OTOH,the RSAF had the sense to base their current fleet primarily on F-16s & F-15s,which share a considerable degree of commonality.
