Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad threatens to boycott EU fighter jets over palm oil

Malaysia may retaliate against a plan by the European Union to curb palm oil use, by purchasing new fighter jets from China instead of European arms companies, its leader said on Sunday. The Southeast Asian country is the world’s second-largest palm oil producer after neighbouring Indonesia, and recently threatened to challenge the bloc’s plan to phase out its use in biofuels at the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Both Malaysia and Indonesia have been at loggerheads with EU lawmakers over the crop’s cultivation, which has caused rampant deforestation and destruction of wildlife.
In his strongest statement yet on the proposed curbs, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad suggested his country could look elsewhere to upgrade its ageing air force fleet of Russian MiG-29 fighters – in effect abandoning plans to purchase France’s Rafale jet or the Eurofighter Typhoon.“If they keep on taking action against us, we will think of buying airplanes from China or any other country,” he was quoted as saying by the official Bernama news agency.
If this does happen if CAC roles snake eyes twelve times in a roll, could it be J-10Cs with WS-10 engines?
Well, the RMAF seemed to be looking at Typhoons or Rafales, so the J-10C would be closer to that weight class (the JF-17 is already competing with the LCA Tejas and FA-50 for a light fighter RMAF requirement).JF17s seems more likely than the J10, the Malaysian PM recently did a media op with a JF17 while in Pakistan, and the JF17 does have all the new ‘combat proven’ shine to it. Both Pakistan and China would also be aggressively marketing its ‘MKI killer’ credentials, so it would seem like the more obvious choice.
