In 2017, the Malaysian military expenditure decreased by 13.7 percent. As a result of this decrease in the defense budget, major procurement programs were postponed. This included the purchase of a multi-role combat aircraft to replace the Royal Malaysian Air Force’s 18 MiG-29N/NUB FULCRUM aircraft.
