Malaysia again complained about the Russian Su-30MKM

Malaysia wants to help Russia repair and maintain the Su-30MKM fighter jets, which are in service with the country's air force, said Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad during a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the ASEAN 33 Summit, reports Free Malaysia Today.

The Malaysian Prime Minister told the Russian president that Malaysia had bought “several Russian planes,” but he doesn’t know how to maintain them and asked for help from Russia in repairing them. Details of further negotiations are not disclosed, as the press did not participate in the further process.

Earlier, the commander of the Malaysian Air Force, General Dato Affendee Bin Buang, said that the problem of the combat readiness of Russian fighters is aggravated by the need for mandatory technical inspection of X-NUMX units of Su-12-BM after a ten-year period of operation. According to him, the Russian side did not disclose all the details of the contract, namely that after years of 30 years, work will be needed that only Russian specialists have the right to perform. Sending the defective Su-10MKM to Russia in Malaysia is considered expensive, and the timing of the technical examination of the aircraft is also not satisfactory.

Currently, the Malaysian Air Force is armed with fourth-generation X-NUMX fighters Su-28MKM (multipurpose, commercial, Malaysian), of which only four can take to the air.

Secondly, VO is not a combat leaflet of a unit, but the media, where the writing people - journalists - are mainly people with a humanitarian education. You use the results of their work, right? And everyone can be wrong. To fix the error, you can delicately inform the site administrator.

In fact, you shouldn't be laughing here, this is a serious problem. With such an attitude towards consumers, Russia itself, without the help of sanctions and threats from the United States, risks losing the market. And then we wonder why everyone is lining up for a "raw" "fu" 35, and from Russian planes more and more often they begin to lubricate their heels with fat.

[Horon]

And what, F -35 TO is not required? Any equipment requires maintenance to confirm and extend its technical suitability for future use! Such statements smack of either unprofessionalism or lobbying of outside interests.

"Marks" (GOST from series B (RV), which "establishes the nomenclature of aircraft flight safety, reliability, testability, operational and maintenance manufacturability (BNKT)) ​​in this regard ..." reads ":

[another RUSICH]

In fact, hardly anyone here knows the terms of the contract.
Quite recently, it seems, on this resource, some neighing over the value of the contract with India, whose price was two times higher than the price of f35.
It was only later that it turned out that the United States was just the price of airplanes, and our cost included service, spare parts, and infrastructure

[Dysindich]

Read the article first to understand what is at stake. (for general development: - no one is in the queue for the F-35. The plane, literally imposed by the State Department, is now waiting for production facilities to make everyone who is destined to make happy.)
The lucky ones would get out and be happy, just try to refuse - the Washington Regional Committee will turn off the light and water. And our equipment is being bought despite direct threats of sanctions.
A serious problem is when we sometimes sell high-tech equipment to such scum that the maximum that can be trusted is to put the tails of donkeys in the desert. This is, yes, a serious problem.

An example does not fit "waaabsche", since you only have a "warranty" period for service, and if you do not do the maintenance within the timeframes set by this, then your guarantee .. ty = ty and then all by yourself.
And here everything is done within the LIMITS established by the Civil Code Commission, on the basis of the Factory Test Act, and in this limit there is also the "established warranty period" including the storage and conservation periods, but they are usually half less than the total MTO and calendar.
And the supply of all spare parts and GRK is strictly stipulated in the contracts.

Malaysian side she chose suppliers imported equipment for the Su-30MKM.
Moreover, the contract was drawn up in such a way that Malaysia provided the supply of these products in finished form.
Whereas in other similar contracts the list of equipment is usually specified and the buyer's function ends there, then the buyer has assumed more extensive powers.
This is the selection, coordination of the application and the supply of components for both experimental and production vehicles

Any aircraft is given an overhaul resource, on a raid or calendar. 10 years have passed - everything doesn’t care how long he flew, maybe he was standing in the parking lot, but the aircraft was equipped with a CWR. You can’t fly anymore. From the article, I realized that the Malaysians do not want to transfer planes to Russia, they want to call specialists from Russia. But it’s not clear on what material base can repairs be made there?

Malaysian Defense Minister YB Dato 'Seri Hishammudin Tun Hussein said:
"- In order to expand the presence of Russian manufacturers in our market, we need to move towards greater integration and interdependence.
It seems to me that through armaments and military equipment we can, as a step towards each other, first expand the list of work performed at local enterprises in terms of repair and maintenance (MRO) of Russian-made aircraft and helicopters, which were previously acquired by the Armed Forces and other government agencies.
The next step to expand mutually beneficial interaction may be production of Russian equipment at our sites.

General Afendi himself (this is the Chief of the Malaysian Air Force) said that ..... "since 2007, annually allocated for the needs of the RMAF (this is the Royal Malaysian Air Force fleet) the operating budget never came close to the amount needed by the air force to effectively manage and maintain its assets.
This was established by the National Audit Department based on an audit conducted in respect of 2017.
And the lack of funds directly affected the level of maintenance and operation of our Su-30MKM. "
These are the first and second, but the third ... in the previous comment I "sounded" some aspects of this contract, in particular, by the independent purchase and delivery of READY KPI by Mallasia , so as it turned out it is the same for them ... "suetprize" it turns out that everything should be "removed" and sent for repairs to the French, South Africa and the Indians.
And with our UEC has concluded a number of agreements on overhaul of the fleet of AL-31FP turbojet engines and their units installed on the Su-30MKM multipurpose fighters of the Royal Air Force (KVVS) of Malaysia. "

In Soviet times, they decided to purchase several dual-use chemical production plants in England. Cool specialists from the Ministry of Foreign Trade went to sign the contract. We bought all the installations that were in England at that time. Currencies did not regret!
The equipment was brought to the Union ... delivered ... configured ... but it does not work. How so? They rushed to the British ... and they answered: these installations did not work for us either - the wrong technological solution. And no one guaranteed that it should work!
And another case ... The British bought a whole ship of karakulchi in the Middle East. He didn’t have time to sail to England when he was immediately resold at the Leningrad fur auction. Our joy knew no bounds - they bought such a product at a cheap price!
A steamboat went straight to the Leningrad Sea Port ... Where it turned out - all the goods were infected with anthrax spores. Pretty deadly, I’ll inform you, the disease.

We did not read the contract and what is written about maintenance is not known to us.

It’s for sure and very bad that out of 28 aircraft only 4 fly. Even if the Malays poorly read the contract, the reputation of the manufacturer suffers.

they wanted planes that do not need repair in general)))) 10 years, rejoice that you are not 1-3 years old ....

An expensive toy requires maintenance.

This material is very indicative. Buying airplanes or something else is not at all what it is.
Modern weapons are not only planes, tanks, air defense systems, etc. very complex things. This is a system that will not work without comprehensive support: technical, rear, and if you need to fight, then combat.
This common truth became well known before the Second World War.
Probably in Malaysia should know this.
Those. The conclusion is: you purchase modern sophisticated weapons systems - establish long-term military-technical cooperation and strengthen relations. with the country of origin.

Earlier, the Commander-in-Chief of the Malaysian Air Force, General Dato Affendi Bin Buang, stated that the problem of the combat readiness of Russian fighters is compounded by the need for a mandatory technical examination of 12 Su-30MKM units after a ten-year operation period.

They are somehow "weird".
Here, cars, products are an order of magnitude different, less complicated, you need to fix it with a certified serviceman, there should be no talk about planes, who, when, where, what and how to fix.
Really signing a contract, they thought that the products are eternal?
Nobody argues, it’s much cheaper to repair Russian planes, and preparation for flights is much easier and cheaper than with Western equipment, but the Malaysians are not happy with the campaign.

Well, how did the Papuans think they bought it? And they drive a regular car without maintenance? So the automaker due to the repair live. Do not make Putin round eyes, nothing is repaired for free.

They had to sell like a cassette player. The pipe is separate. Gromophone separately. And together, they work ... but for an additional fee.

We still have Ukrainians, the same freeloaders.

One more "Hindus" were found ... Everyone loves to mow for fools. The principle is the same, all over the world - military equipment is very expensive toys, and their maintenance is also not cheap. No money, or a toad is choking - don't get involved in this case. And to leave your products on their own is to lose your reputation (because, in ten years, daddy has done so much technology that you can't look at it without tears), then conversations begin: ... the technology is bad ...

Dumb bazaar, Mr. Mahathir - help!
Load the oil (Palm) barrels!
Well, now we don’t accept dollars - we despise ....

For some reason, I remember the Iranian F-14s flying without maintenance and without spare parts for 30 years. Either the climate is different, or Iranian techniques are incredible magicians.

Have there been cases when planes from Tan got into a joke due to the lack of spare parts, the inability to perform maintenance or something like that?

And what was the point of putting a MiG on a photo if the conversation is about Su?

And in the photo, not MiGs?
