Some additional notes here, states that KL airbase will be involved, but did not mention if the Raptors will be at KL airbase:

I think F-22s are most likely to be based in Butterworth, since SU-30MKMs are in Kuantan.

It would be great if there's a static display at TUDM, Subang, after the end of the exercise. Maybe a short air demo of the Raptor for spectators and enthusiast?

Selamat Datang ke Malaysia USAF F22, they are here now from Lowyat people, RMAF Butterworth.

 

U.S., Malaysian Air Forces gear up for Cope Taufan
6 May 2014 Friday

 

6/5/2014 - JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii -- The U.S. Air Force and the Royal Malaysian Air Force will participate in exercise Cope Taufan 14 from June 9-20, 2014, at P.U. Butterworth and P.U. Subang, Malaysia. Cope Taufan is an excellent opportunity to improve combined readiness and cooperation between the U.S. and Malaysia. This large force employment exercise will include operations in air superiority, close air support, interdiction, tactical airlift, and combat search and rescue.

 

Cope Taufan 14 will see the participation of C-17s, Special Operations Command Pacific air and ground forces, and the joint deployable electronic warfare range (JDEWR) in the exercise for the first time.

 

Cope Taufan 14 will also see the first F-22 Raptor deployment to Southeast Asia, an inaugural step toward participation in other Southeast Asia exercise and engagement opportunities.

 

The U.S. is committed to strengthening partnerships with Malaysia and is honored to participate in this year's event. In addition to Pacific Air Forces staff and exercise support personnel, the following U.S. Air Force units and aircraft are participating in Cope Taufan 14:

 

-131st Fighter Squadron, 104th Fighter Wing, Barnes Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts (F-15C)
-199th Fighter Squadron, 154th Wing, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii (F-22A)
-19th Fighter Squadron, 154th Wing, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii (F-22A)
-36th Airlift Squadron, 374th Airlift Wing, Yokota Air Base, Japan (C-130)
-517th Airlift Squadron, 3rd Wing, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska (C-17)
-535th Airlift Squadron, 15th Wing, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii (C-17)
-204th Airlift Squadron, 154th Wing, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii (C-17)

 

The exercise allows for an exchange of techniques and procedures to enhance cooperation between U.S. and Malaysian Airmen. It also provides a quality training venue for U.S. and Malaysian aircrew and maintenance personnel.

 

Pacific Air Forces has conducted exercises with the Royal Malaysian Air Force since the early 1980s. By participating in exercises with military forces from partner nations in the Asia-Pacific, the U.S. demonstrates its commitment to peace and stability in the region.

Come on guys. Can we stop the sarcasm already? It's not even funny,a pain to read.

 

As long as TUDM doesn't own up to sleeping on the job, we'll keep making fun of them.

Precisely. So do I. Sarcasms belong there. Not here.

 

OK, so the TUDM boys saw the F22s and decided they were non-hostile.
