Boeing has not disclosed the details of the proposed model to the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) but did reveal that the contract involves 18 aircraft, as reported by Bernama.
The Super Hornet is equipped with a suite of integrated and networked systems that provide enhanced interoperability and support for ground forces.
Currently, the RMAF operates eight earlier generation two-seater F/A-18Ds.
