Dassault Aviation plans to open an office in Kuala Lumpur, in an apparent bid to promote interest in the Rafale fighter for the Royal Malaysian AF's Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA) requirement. Sources in Malaysia have identified the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Eurofighter Typhoon and Saab Gripen as the other front-runners in the competition. The RMAF is looking to replace its MiG-29 fleet, with 12-18 aircraft required by 2015, and a tender is likely to b issued in December.
