Another talk on Hornet deal uncertainty. Honestly Malaysia MinDef should just discard the deal, focus yo get more FA-50. Kuwaiti Hornet supposedly only interim solution. If their budget won't cover new MRCA wihin this decade and has to go with interim fighters, then either go with UAE and Qatar Mirage 2K or surplus Chinese J-10.

In other word they should cut lost and move on to more reliable sources.

Same with Indonesia, i think it is better not to choose for Mirage 2000 or J-10 as 'interim' solution. For Malaysia it is better to go with F404 aircrafts like second hand F-18s or JAS 39s, or like you said more new FA-50s
