The exact arrival date will be announced soon, said the minister after launching the Tabung Pahlawan Campaign 2026/2027. Present at the event were the campaign's patrons, the country's military chiefs, and key officials from South Korea Aerospace Industries. In 2023, Malaysia signed a RM4 billion contract with Korea Aerospace Industries to procure 18 FA-50 Block 20 light combat aircraft, which offer superior capabilities compared to existing South Korean and international models.",
