Dassault pitches Rafale to Malaysia for fighter contest
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.
