The Royal Malaysian Air Force expects to take delivery of the last batch of six Sukhoi Su-30MKMs in October. The final examples arrived in Malaysia from Russia onboard Antonov An-124s between August 12 and 17 and are being assembled there. A total of 12 have already been delivered, but are currently undergoing integration and installation of some western systems, with occasional test flying, according to the retiring Malaysian Armed Force chief, General Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Zainal, speaking on September 1. The multi-role fighter is due to be fully operational from July next year. Russia delivered the first two Su-30MKMs to Malaysia on June 18,2007.
