Malezya Kraliyet Hava Kuvvetleri
The Royal Malaysian Air Force (Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia) was created by an act of the Federation of Malaya’s Parliament on 2 June 1958, learned its trade flying transports and helicopters in jungle wars while the RAF and RAAF did the fighting, and has since run one of Asia’s most mixed fleets — Russian Su-30MKMs beside American Hornets and British Hawks — while a long-promised modern fighter programme keeps slipping and 18 Korean FA-50s arrive first.
The Royal Malaysian Air Force story: a service built on loan, Konfrontasi, Flankers beside Hornets and a fighter that keeps slipping
1934–1963: volunteers, an ordinance and a borrowed chief
Malaya’s first military flyers were part-timers. Wikipedia traces the lineage to Malayan Auxiliary Air Force formations of the Royal Air Force raised in 1934, which became the Straits Settlements Volunteer Air Force and, in 1940, the Malayan Volunteers Air Force. Independence in 1957 left the new federation without an air arm of its own. The air force’s own history begins precisely: the Air Force Ordinance was passed by Parliament on Monday, 2 June 1958, and the next day an RAF officer, Air Commodore A.V.R. Johnstone, was appointed the first chief, charged with designing the organisation, its people and its aircraft. The first contingent transferred from the RAF in November 1958. It was, in other words, a service built on loan, and throughout the Malayan Emergency, which ran until 31 July 1960, the bombing of the communist guerrillas was done by British, Australian and New Zealand squadrons.
1963–1989: Konfrontasi, Sabres and a second insurgency
The Royal Federation of Malaya Air Force became Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia on 16 September 1963, the day Malaysia was formed. Its early work, the official history says, was air communications and support of operations against the communists. During Indonesia’s Konfrontasi (January 1963 to August 1966) the air defence of Malaysia rested with the RAF; the young Malaysian service, whose first Twin Pioneer transport had been delivered on 16 January 1962, flew transport and communications. Jets came late: 20 Canadair CL-41G Tebuan light strike aircraft entered service in 1967 and ex-Australian Sabres followed with No. 11 Squadron in 1969. From 1968 to the Hat Yai peace accord of 2 December 1989 the air force flew against the revived communist insurgency on the Thai border — a war whose casualty figures remain poorly sourced.
1975–2000: Tigers, Skyhawks and the Russian gamble
The 1970s and 1980s brought real combat aircraft and a first lesson in over-reach. Fourteen F-5E Tiger IIs and two F-5Bs arrived in 1975, with F-5Fs and two RF-5E reconnaissance jets in 1982–83. In 1982 Malaysia bought 80 refurbished A-4 Skyhawks; only 40 were converted to the unique A-4PTM standard and the rest stayed in the United States as spares. The Skyhawks were retired in 1995. The next decade was bolder still: Malaysia bought Russian, taking 16 single-seat MiG-29Ns and two two-seaters, while hedging with eight American F/A-18D Hornets delivered in 1997 and British Hawk 108s and 208s from 1994. The mix bought political balance; it also bought three separate supply chains.
2003–2017: Flankers, Lahad Datu and the end of the Fulcrum
The Su-30MKM contract of August 2003, for 18 aircraft at about US$900 million, deepened the Russian bet; the jets arrived from 2007 to 2009 and carried an offset under which Russia flew a Malaysian to the International Space Station in October 2007. The MiG-29s did not age well: two were lost in crashes in 1998 and 2004, six were retired in 2010 to cut maintenance costs and the last ten went in 2017. The air force’s one modern combat use came in Sabah in 2013, when some 235 armed men sent by Jamalul Kiram III, a claimant to the Sultanate of Sulu, landed at Lahad Datu to press the sultanate’s claim to eastern Sabah; the Philippine government opposed the incursion. On 5 March, three F/A-18Ds and five Hawk 208s bombed their positions before ground forces moved in under Ops Daulat. Malaysia’s government counted 56 militants killed; ten members of the Malaysian security forces and six civilians died.
2018–2026: availability, helicopters and the fighter that never comes
The last decade has been about keeping aircraft flying. In 2018 the defence minister, Mohamad Sabu, said 14 of the 18 Su-30MKMs were grounded for engine problems and spare parts; a RM2.2 billion local upgrade was completed in January 2025. The Nuri (S-61A-4) helicopter fleet, which Wikipedia links to about 95 deaths in 18 crashes since 1989, was grounded on 7 January 2020, and its replacement is being leased rather than bought. The multi-role combat aircraft programme, which has weighed the Super Hornet, Typhoon, Rafale and Gripen for well over a decade, has produced nothing; a plan to take over Kuwait’s retired Hornets was cancelled in February 2026. What has been signed is modest and practical: 18 KAI FA-50 Block 20 light fighters in May 2023 for US$920 million, due from late 2026, two ATR 72 patrol aircraft, three Turkish Anka-S drones and new Thales radars. The honest verdict is an air force with good people and an incoherent fleet.

12. Filo
The air force’s Su-30MKM squadron, per Wikipedia: 18 aircraft delivered 2007–2009 from a contract of August 2003. In 2018 the defence minister said 14 of the 18 were grounded; a RM2.2 billion local upgrade was completed in January 2025.
18. Filo
Malaysia’s only Hornet squadron: eight two-seat F/A-18Ds delivered in 1997, one lost after an engine fire on 21 August 2025. Three of them opened the strikes at Lahad Datu on 5 March 2013. Butterworth also houses the headquarters of the Five Power Defence Arrangements’ Integrated Area Defence System.
Nos 6 and 15 Squadrons
Hawk 108s and 208s: No. 6 Squadron at Labuan per Wikipedia, and No. 15 at Butterworth by the Wikipedia articles on the base and the Hawk, though a third Wikipedia article puts it at Kuantan. The 18 KAI FA-50Ms due from October 2026 are to replace the Hawk and the MB-339.
Transport squadrons
The A400M, C-130H and CN-235 squadrons and the VIP squadron fly from the western side of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, per Wikipedia, whose squadron numbers do not all match the official list. Two ATR 72 maritime patrol aircraft are on order.
