The
Royal Malaysian Air Force (
RMAF; ) was formed on 2 June 1958 as the
Royal Federation of Malaya Air Force (
Tentera Udara Diraja Persekutuan). However, its roots can be traced back to the Malayan Auxiliary Air Force formations of the British
Royal Air Force in then colonial
British Malaya. Today, the Royal Malaysian Air Force operates a unique mix of modern
American,
European and
Russian-made aircraft.
