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.

I think that the RMAF still has problems with spares for their MiG-29's. So it would be interesting to see if the Su-30 support is better. Here are some pix that I shot of the RMAF Su-30 MKMs rehearsing for the country's 50th Independence Day celebrations.
