HeiTech Padu Berhad (Bhd) announced that it has been awarded a contract worth MYR66.84 million (around USD14.8 million) from the Malaysian Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) on Friday (Sept. 9).
The company was also responsible for developing the RMAF Su-30MKM simulator center in the fighters’ home base at Gong Kedak, Kelantan, West Malaysia. The facility containing two sets of Su-30MKM simulators was formally unveiled in 2011.

In 2003, Malaysia signed a contract for 18 Sukhoi Su-30MKM dual-seater multi-role fighters from Russia with the first aircraft delivered in 2007. The contract was reported to also include the simulators for training the pilots.
