Yes, they still do. These are still 4th jets anyway, so there is little reason to retire them. Doctrine-wise, the F/A-18s are multi-role with more focus on ground attack missions in mind. The Su-30MKMs are also multi-role, but they tend to be more focused on air-superiority missions.Malaysia still operate their F/A-18s? I thought they replaced them with Su-30MKMs. Being a Malaysian Air Force mechanic must be exhausting.
