(Reuters) - BAE Systems expects to submit a leasing proposal for the Eurofighter Typhoon jet to Malaysia next month, as its cash-strapped government mulls over renting, rather than buying fighter aircraft.
"The Malaysian government is openly saying they have some issues on finance, and while they're ending subsidies and bringing in new value added tax, it's unlikely there's an appetite to buy Typhoon at this point," BAE's Group Business Development Director Alan Garwood told analysts on Thursday.
"What they have done is solicit leasing proposals from every major aerospace company. We will be submitting a leasing proposal next month for Typhoon together with a purchase option and expect to have further discussions later in the year or maybe even early next year around that," he said.
Last year Malaysia, which had wanted to buy 18 combat aircraft by 2015, said it was choosing between Boeing's F/A-18, Dassault's Rafale, Saab's Gripen and the Eurofighter Typhoon which is built by BAE, Airbus and Italy's Finmeccanica.
Industry sources said in March that the purchase could run into billions of dollars. Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak told Reuters in October the purchase might be delayed.

Mengapa angkatan udara malaysia tdk siap, bila dibanding dg negara filiphina dan filiphina sdh mempunyai pesawat T50 serta akan datang pesawat jet baru
BalasHapusDude T50 hasn't even been produced. Check your facts. Philippines does not own T50s. Even Russia hasn't received its T50s.
HapusAngkatan udara Malaysia tidak siap? Bang, kami punya 18 Sukhoi 30 MKM siap dgn BVR nya dan jamming pod. 8 FA18 Hornet D, dan 10 MIG 29 N. Baru-baru ni TUDM baru sahaja menerima 12 EC725 Super Cougar. Ada perancangan untuk menambah bilangan Super Cougar. Saya rangka antara tahun ini dan hadapan, kerajaan akan menandatangani kontrak untuk pesawat perjuang yang baru bagi menggantikan MIG29 N. Bergantung kepada keperluan dan kemampuan kewangan kerajaan, jumlah pesawat pejuang baru mungkin dalam lingkungan 18 ke 40 buah. Perancangan untuk membentuk skuadron helikopter serang juga ada dalam perkiraan, cuma bergantung kepada kemampuan kewangan. Malaysia dalam usaha untuk menjadi sebuah negara maju pada tanggal 2020, jadi negara memerlukan dana pembangunan yang lebih besar.
HapusSugianto harisantoso, nak buat macam mana mas keadaan politik semasa kurang stabil.kedudukan org melayu dan islam juga sering kali dicabar.Buat masa ini agak tertangguh dan mungkin akan diteruskan pembelian bila keadaan sudah tenang..
BalasHapusKami yakin aset udara spt su30mkm dan mig29nub f18hornet(upgrade) mampu mengatasi ancaman sedia ada.
Bukan kedudukan orang Melayu dan Islam tercabar, kerajaan tak ada dana nak bangunkan pertahanan negara. Tak payah nak berselindung. Defisit budget 3.9% GDP, hutang negara 55% GDP. Nak buat apa pon tak boleh. Nak buat hutang lagi? Alamat jahanam lah ekonomi negara. Insyaallah dengan rasionalisasi subsidi dan GST bermula tahun depan, dan peningkatan sektor eksport, ekonomi negara akan berkembang dengan lebih maju dan kerajaan boleh lah berbelanja untuk meningkatkan aset pertahanan.
