Sir,
I remember some time back you said that an aircraft can not be stealth if it is not completely redesigned. This was in regards to JF-17 being modified to Stealth aircraft.
From the JH-7B Stealth Strike Fighter is also in the same category an old design how can this be stealth?
Sir F-15's & F-18's have been given some kind of stealth paint coat and some other features like enclosed weapons delivery pods etc... So it is also possible to do the same for JF-17's, JH-7B, FC-20 etc...
Sir,
The requirement of PN is a lot different hence a multi-engine aircraft is required. PN has been operating Mirage III's but they have a very reliable engine.
Initially when the PN requested for the permission to procure fighter aircraft they had requested J-15's but that was not approved and they were required to get the JF-17's. Now after the increased naval area PN does not know what to do and has increased the demands for more boats.
The visit of Army Chief to Russia where he saw the Mig-35 and showed interest. If some details are indeed sent and some briefing is given by Russia then it might be clearer if these Mig-35's could be bought. Most probably on very favorable terms as the company that manufactures Migs is almost bankrupt.
