Comment by TovarishSamsonShekovich — June 1, 2007 #
i heard it is the same as the MKI but differs in avionics. splendid!

Comment by sebastián — June 2, 2007 #
Malaysian officials seem to be in love with the airplane, and it is not hard to guess why: it is so beautiful and mighty!
I have two questions:
1- Does it have AESA? Because I thought I heard saying this.
2- The OLS is the same used in MiG-35?

Comment by Carlo — June 2, 2007 #
Hi, Carlo

1. No, it’s phased array radar, but not active, not AESA as MiG-35 has. This information is exact, directly from Sergey.
2. I suppose no, but I will check it out.

Comment by Pavel — June 2, 2007 #
I so agree with Carlo’s comments, and I am in love with the plane, too.

Come to think about it, how many planes in the world we know have stuffs from international companies (like the -MKM)?

Comment by Angel Mutsumi — June 2, 2007 #
PLEASE can we have a translation of this! I would be VERY intersted in what is being said (and my Rusian is rustier than a used FSO!)…

Comment by Zed — June 3, 2007 #
WOW, Thank you so much…very cool video!

Hi, Carlo

2- The OLS is the same used in MiG-35?
No. New OLS made Ural Optical & Mechanical plant

Comment by Pilot — June 3, 2007 #
Thanks for the information, Mr. Kuznetsov! And thanks a lot also for (one more) excellent program!

Comment by Carlo — June 4, 2007 #
Zed, mostly it was said that it is bad weather, but still Malaysian representatives are very happy to see new beautiful planes in their Air Forces. God bless Malaysian and Russian nations.

Hi, i^m from Venezuela, what is the difference of these plane and the one sold to my country ? Russia sold us the SU30MKII

Comment by Nefasto — June 6, 2007 #
Finally for many years…huge impact!
Worth to die for this ‘beast’ warplane!
Malaysia Boleh!
Ahaks!..

Comment by adenass — June 8, 2007 #
The Su-30MK2 which Venezuela has was exported to China as well, and it is so far the most advance combat aircraft which China has.

Comment by TovarishSamsonShekovich — June 9, 2007 #
The Venezuela Su-30 is the exact same model as the Chinese Air Forces Su-30MK. It’s a decent varient with moderate air-to-air and ground capabilities, but the Su-30MKI and Su-30MKM is far more advance because they’ve integrated Western avionics and hardware into their Flankers. Still, Venezuela Flankers are a damn good one, not like they have anything in the region that can come close to competing against it.

Comment by Zubb — June 10, 2007 #
Nefasto, no, Russia soold you Su-30MK2’s

Comment by Borat — June 13, 2007 #
Nefasto was right, he meant the MK2, he typed there “MKII”, “II” = 2 in Roman numerals.

Comment by TovarishSamsonShekovich — June 15, 2007 #
thank you Zubb

Comment by Nefasto — June 16, 2007 #
Drasbuite.. The Su-30MKM will be the ultimate fighter aircraft in the south asean region.. before this, many thought that malaysian should buy F/A-18F, but now I believe we have make a right decision!!!

Comment by golake-sturman — June 19, 2007 #
Watcha,the most advanced airship Sukhoi-30MKM seem to be right for Malaysia air defence. Congrate Malaysia…………18 Sukhoi-30MKM coming right away from Irkut…..fresh!!

Comment by Zaytsev — June 21, 2007 #
Some says that M’sia Govt. will consider to purchase some of the F/A-18F end of this year in balance with their SU-30’s.But for me,dont waste any money for this Hornet aircraft.Indeed Super Hornet firepower will balance with SU-30MKM,but bear in mind that SU-30MKM capability and menouvre wise are equal or some says better than Super Hornet.Why pay more?
Lastly Russian plane nowadays are much-much better and no regret to have it!

Comment by adenass — June 25, 2007 #
The Malaysian defence association very much hopes to obtain the F/A-18F as well, the Americans also agree in the first place, even for a trade-in deal with Malaysia, meaning the Malaysian Govt. could choose to return their existing F/A-18D to US and pay lesser for their F/A-18Fs, however Malaysia is still going to suffer a financial difficulties even for that trade-in deal.

Comment by TovarishSamsonShekovich — June 26, 2007 #
Couple of years back in Canada the Russian pilots along with their legendary Su-27s contested against Canadian pilots flying F-18s bided on box of Beer the result was quite obvious - the Russians defeated the F-18s while at the same time the Amirecan pilots whatching and waiting for their turn with their F-15s. When the Russians won the match the Amirecans refused going into contest against their Russian comrades.

The export of Su-30s created alot of tensions/concerns around the world - Indian airforce acquired Su-30MKI turned into much capable airforce in the region and indirectly forced Austrilian airforce to consider and pay attention to its airforce.

The Indian pilots with their Su-30MKI defeated the F-15s, F-16s and Tornados in British sky quite easily witout using its real strengths and capablities.

Now, you imagine and compare the Su-30 against the F-18 super hornet/latest version. Unquestionably the Sukhois are winners.

I’m a Malaysian here, and I’m quite pleased to see our air force getting a hand of one of the best fighters in the world. Good job!
And I must thank this site’s admin for uploading the awesome video. You’re the great!

Comment by Angel Mutsumi — July 11, 2007 #
Well after a while, Malaysia finally got a decent fighter jet. Don’t know whether Malaysia will buy additional sukhoi or super hornet, but 18 Sukhoi’s plus 14 Migs 29(hopefully they will upgrade it, still ok beast but not the most advance) plus 8 hornets guess RMAF is a decent airforce. No more

Comment by Kamal — July 19, 2007 #
Finally, after rumors and gossips. I, as a Malaysian can really see this new machines in my country’s air force inventory. With units like MiG-29, Su-30MKM and F/A-18D, the Malaysian air force can potentially beat any contemporary adversaries if well-trained and well-equipped.

I done some research on the MKM series which is same as the MKI series only this time, without Isreal’s components. And since the Isreal-less model can be built, Ifeel that Arab countries may thinking the same thing right now.

The only thing now my government should really consider is maintanance and logistic which I hope they can sort it out soon.

In my opinion, perhaps my country’s air force should put it like way -

Su-30MKM - Air Superiority and Tactical Strike
MiG-29N - Interceptor and Close Support
F/A-18D - Interdiction and Strike Fighter

Comment by Mike Powell — July 27, 2007 #
I hope Malaysia will buy Mig-35 as well.

Comment by Jimmy Ali — August 26, 2007 #
I heard Singapore have made a deal with Boeing for the purchase of F-15SG, a singapore version of F-15E strike eagle. probably to counter the MKM. Their participation in the JSF program seem to go nowhere, what with the cost overrun and everything. Thailand and Indoensia also seem’s to think on the same line. Once, RMAF Migs, managed to defeat RAAF F/A-18. imagine what the MKM can do.

I suggest that as soon as the Budget available, we should replace the N011 Bars with AESA like Phazotron NIIR Zhuk-AE or Tikhomirov NIIP Epaulet-A. there’s also Europe AMSAR if we fancy western AESA.

Comment by Mehmet Al Fateh — August 29, 2007 #
I hope Malaysia will buy MiG 35 M-MRCA for MiG 29 replacement in 2010 perhaps… But the second bacth of Su 30MKM is very important …maybe 6 more to complete 2 sqd…i think the AESA is in the pipeline……Malasia boleh !!!!

Comment by zuraidi — September 3, 2007 #
I think malaysian government should consider buying new MIG29 OVT or upgrade their MIG29 despite buying new F18 Super Hornet.

Su30 on the other hand beats F15C everytime in classified simulation in US…here the link of the artikel:

Comment by cqonealkaff — September 4, 2007 #
gracias RMAF!!! su-30mkm is the best in the region !!!

Comment by apatcha — September 22, 2007 #
fuuyoohh….i wonder, f-15sg vs su-30mkm, who wins? of coz su-30mkm lah..hahahaha

Comment by kill_raptors — September 22, 2007 #
Beware, Singapore is getting F-35s in addition of their F-15SGs. Plus, they have F-16 Block 52 which is superior to MiG-29Ns.

Comment by DethP — November 6, 2007 #
Remember, SU-30 are designed to be a multi-role fighter with mini AEW and Command capability. Again, I done some research on the SU-30 and according to the Russian’s combat doctrine, SU-30 is only reserved for elite officers to lead the SU-27 wing squad.

And since the SU-30 originally designed to be a commanding air combat fighter, just imagine the upgraded MKM series will do to her opponent.

Comment by Mike Powell — November 13, 2007 #
Sukhoi 30 MKM is the best ALLAHUAKBARRR..malaysia boleh.

Comment by Nasrul — December 4, 2007 #
this jet fighter is so awsome..cool man

Comment by MeerSha — December 8, 2007 #
i wonder if malaysia had put su-47 into consideration. but latest news said that Thailand is going to sign a contract of 12 su-30mkm. this is not a good news for malaysian defence. the strategy of malaysian air force is good, but if we have the additional support of su-47 or maybe su-35, malaysian airforce will become superior in SEA…great job Malaysia.. but 1 thing i wouldn’t like to see is the new fighter plane roaming around at pulau perhentian in low altitude.thank you!

Comment by jacky — December 10, 2007 #
Nope…Thailand is buring 12 units od Swedish SAAB Gripen. A medium size, multirole strike fighter which has latest avionics and weapon system. The only downside is the small size which limits its flight range and time.

By comparison, its superior than MIG-29 and F-16 but not able to out-performence SU30MKM or F15SG.

Comment by NazMaNn — December 22, 2007 #
for me malaysians su30mkm is the best. all sinagapores fighter jet cannot defeats su30mkm. 10 su30mkm can beat all singapores f-16.

Comment by qayum bp malaysia — January 14, 2008 #
if malaysians has 3 squadron of su30mkm, im sure all singapore jet fighter will be defeated.

Comment by hazik perang — January 14, 2008 #
RTAF is signing to but 12 SAAb JAS-39 gripen, at first they want to buy su-30, but the latter news comfirm that the thai govt agreed 2 go 4 gripens…

Comment by kill_raptors — January 29, 2008 #
su-30mkm is H-MRCA means its heavy with armarment. f-16 is only m-mrca and cannot even compete mig-29n. this is due to manuverability and power engines- mig has 2 while f-16 has a single engine.

Comment by kill_raptors — February 23, 2008 #
Sukhoi Su-30 MKI rulles!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by platon — May 10, 2008 #
Thanks for all su30mkm fans and theirs constructive views.First of all I would like to touch on F18 E/F super hornet.Why Malaysia dont buy?Its and open secret among SEA military community that Malaysia first batch of 8 F18 D hornet is only for static and aero show. why???? Coz US (congress)do not provide missille co-ordinate code to RMAF until know.So its damn useless u hve gun n bullet but cannot shoot.Even our ex-Premier has admit it.Only s’pore rsaf has been given the weapon co-ordinate code on their US hardware to used as they like but not M’sia.Reason ask US conggress???? RMAF has make a wright chooice to acquired su30mkm and please add more su….. According to Asian Defence Journal RMAF MIG29 has defeated f16 rsaf and f18 australian air force on mock air combat execise.That why US conggress has permit the sale of AMRAMM 120 to S’pore and Australian air force.Imagine RMAF wth su30mkm…Sure They hve a nightmare on few years to come before they recieve their f35.On that period RMAF su30mkm allready equiep wth AESA radar.Please read interview with Mikhail Simonov under http://vayu- sena.tripod.com
