I dun think there is any official statement about it.
MALAYSIA: A mid-2003 $RM5.4 billion ($1.42 billion) RMAF
contract for 18 advanced two-seat multi-role Sukhoi Su-30MKMs is
now known to include funding of 120 million ($143.56 million) for
advanced digital mission
systems avionics from France's Thales group. The RMAF's Su-30MKMs
will be similar to India's Su-30MKIs now arriving from Russia's
Irkut group, with canards, thrust-vectored Lyulka AL-31FP
turbofans and NIIP N-011M Bars radar. RMAF westernized
mission systems avionics from Thales and SAGEM, however, will
exclude Israeli Su-30MKI components in Su-30MKM and weapons package
deliveries, due from 2006.
The RMAF will oversee integration of the aircraft and systems in
Russia, which will be completed in partnership between Sukhoi and
Thales. Equipped with modern European avionics, these aircraft will
enhance the RMAF's already substantial combat aircraft fleet, from
delivery by 2007 to 2008, while strengthening Thales' links with
its Malaysian industrial partners. Thales claims that its systems
will boost the capacity and operational performances of the SU
30MKMs, notably in the domains of avionics, navigation,
identification and optronics, and enhance their capabilities for
both day and night combat
