RMAF to adapt strategy in response to global tensions, says new chief
Norazlan said the air force is closely monitoring the tensions involving Russia, Ukraine, India, Pakistan, Iran and Israel.
"What the air force is doing is looking at what we can learn from these conflicts.
"We will then review whether our plan is aligned or moving in the same direction with what's happening in our surroundings.
"If we need to do some adjustment, we will, because we must remain relevant and in tune with current realities," he told a press conference after assuming the command of the RMAF from General Tan Sri Mohd Asghar Khan Goriman Khan.
Norazlan also gave his assurance that all RMAF initiatives under the CAP55 would continue under his leadership.
"This is to ensure that the RMAF remains a credible and dominant air power with full-spectrum capability.
"First, it's capability development. Second, we want modernisation. Third, it's about human capital development.
"We can already see this under the current Madani administration, with the procurement of new assets. These are not just replacements for old platforms, but actual capability upgrades."
He added that such efforts require more than just acquisitions, but also strong emphasis on training and operational readiness.
"We will focus on this as we work to build capability. When it comes to human resources, we need the right people, well-trained individuals.
"This must be prioritised so that the assets we acquire can be optimised to their fullest potential," he said.

RMAF must go high-tech to meet evolving threats, say experts
KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) must prioritise technological capabilities, cyber integration and layered air defence to adapt to evolving global conflicts, say defence experts. Chasseur Group security and defence analyst Munira Mustaffa said Malaysia could draw important lessons from conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, where a smaller force has managed to deny air superiority to a more powerful adversary. "Air superiority is no longer about numbers. Ukraine has shown that effective, mobile ground-based air defence systems and strong electronic warfare (EW) capabilities can deny access to contested airspace," she said. Munira was commenting on a statement by new RMAF chief Lieutenant-General Datuk Seri Muhamad Norazlan Aris on Thursday that the air force would adapt its long-term posture based on conflicts involving Russia, Ukraine, India, Pakistan, Iran and Israel. Under the Capability Development Plan 2055 (CAP55), the RMAF aims to enhance relevance by shaping its war-fighting capability to ensure threats are deterred and contained. CAP55, among others, calls for the procurement of unmanned aerial systems, airborne early warning platforms, long-range ground-based air defence radars as well as a ground-based air defence system. Munira said the RMAF should focus on several key areas, including investing in mobile and dispersed air defence systems, enhancing joint air-ground integration, expanding offensive and defensive electronic warfare (EW) capabilities, and building low-cost counter-drone systems using small, attritable platforms. "These drones have proven to be highly effective at a fraction of the cost of conventional platforms. For a country like Malay-sia, they offer lethality at range, economy of effort, and are well suited to our defensive doctrine. "Malaysia's current defence budget of US$4.8 billion, of which US$1.3 billion is allocated for maintenance and new procurement, means the RMAF will have to compete for limited resources across the armed services," she said. Munira also said the RMAF must adopt a phased and cost-efficient strategy that leverages existing assets while introducing new capabilities. "Rather than chasing expensive single-solution platforms, the RMAF should look at layered, interoperable systems. "Upgrading current assets, tapping into dual-use technologies with the Home Ministry, and seeking regional training and procurement partnerships are all viable options," she added. Cyber defence should be treated as the foundational priority, given the increasing dependence on autonomous and software-driven systems. "A cyberattack could compromise multiple systems, undermining both EW and drone capabilities," she said. She added that electronic warfare should come next, as it accounts for the majority of counter-drone operations and plays a crucial role in neutralising near-term threats. While she acknowledged the importance of conventional air power, Munira said the RMAF's future edge lied in integrating new and traditional capabilities. "The objective is to integrate cyber, EW and drone systems into a cohesive, layered defence structure." Meanwhile, Universiti Utara Malaysia defence expert Associate Professor Dr Mohamed Faisol Keling said the RMAF must consider the technological aspects of the current geopolitical conflicts, the influence of major powers and the role of international bodies in conflict resolution. "With a limited budget, focus should be given to more critical sectors rather than areas that can be modified, such as management or lower-cost contracts. "The RMAF should work with various universities and industry players to develop high-technology equipment using local expertise," he said. "Many universities can be brought in to collaborate on developing defence assets that align with our national capabilities. "We can look at how Indonesia is now producing its own defence products through local talent."

RMAF tracks global conflicts to stay mission-ready, says new chief
SUBANG: The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) is closely observing global conflicts to ensure its long-term strategies remain relevant and the force stays prepared for missions, said its newly appointed chief, General Datuk Seri Muhamad Norazlan Aris. He highlighted that ongoing conflicts, including those between Russia and Ukraine, India and Pakistan, and Iran and Israel, provide critical lessons for strengthening the RMAF's capabilities under its Air Force Capability Development Plan 2055 (CAP55). 'I will ensure all CAP55 plans are executed with the new leadership to maintain RMAF as a credible, superior, and full-spectrum air power. If adjustments are needed, we will adapt to current realities,' he told reporters after the retirement parade of outgoing chief General Tan Sri Mohd Asghar Khan Goriman Khan at Subang Air Base. Muhamad Norazlan thanked Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin and Armed Forces Chief General Tan Sri Mohd Nizam Jaffar for their trust in appointing him. He also expressed gratitude to Mohd Asghar Khan for his leadership and service. The ceremony included a flypast by SU-30MKM, F/A-18D, C-130H, A400M, and PC-7 MKII aircraft, along with EC-725 AP helicopters. Meanwhile, Mohd Asghar Khan noted that new assets, including unmanned aerial vehicles, FA-50 combat aircraft, and maritime patrol planes, will be delivered from October 2024 to 2028, boosting RMAF's air defence capabilities. 'Training and human capital development are also prioritised to ensure personnel can operate these assets effectively,' he added.
