The air force is in discussions to upgrade its fleet of ageing Russian Sukhoi and MiG fighter planes, Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu said today.

“However, we must also take into consideration our financial situation. Our current ones are ageing and need to be replaced.

"We have to assess the suitability and the needs of the nation's security," he said, after officiating the Soka GakkaiRun For Peace 2019 at Padang Besar, Taman Klang Jaya this morning.
