Malaysia Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin received a courtesy visit from the Kuwaiti Ambassador to Malaysia, Rashed Mohammed Rashed ALSALEH today, with among the key topics discussed was Malaysia’s interest in acquiring F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets from the Kuwaiti Air Force.
The Malaysian Ministry of Defence will make a decision regarding the acquisition of used F/A-18 C/D Hornet fighter jets from the Kuwaiti Air Force only after receiving a comprehensive report from the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) technical team that visited Kuwait last June.
The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) is set to visit Kuwait next month for discussions with the Kuwaiti Air Force to acquire their F/A-18D Hornet fighter jets.
Qatar and Kuwait have reportedly issued directives to the United States stating that their fighter jets are not permitted to use airbases in these Arab nations to launch airstrikes against Iran.
