Russia offers to buy MiG-29 from Malaysia and put MiG-35
The presidential envoy was Viktor Kladov, who oversees the international direction at Rostec. According to him, Putin, having an extremely respectful attitude to Prime Minister Mohamad Mahathir and to the country as a whole, is ready to contribute to the development of Malaysia, including in matters of security.
According to the Russian special envoy, past experience in cooperation has made it possible to reach agreements on the sale of MiG-29N in 1995 and Su-30МКМ in 2003 as a result of “compromise decisions on palm oil”.

As indicated, “according to a similar scheme” (that is, by repurchasing American equipment? ..) the possibility of replacing the Sikorsky S-61 Nuri fleet, which has been operating for half a century, with new Russian cars, is being considered:
