The TWR rate is wrong. It is lower. Less than 1.0.

Regarding the former, I think my point still stands in that the fighter's RCS increases the moment you put on stuff on hardpoints. So in these dire need times is it really worth spending another 100 million dollars and wait another 2 years for it? I do not think so. However you are more than welcome to debate it.Frontal RCS of F-16 Block 60 is much lower as compared to F-16 Block 52+, the nose looks a bit bigger and Block 60 houses an AESA Radar.
Of all the fan made stuff, i liked this one.

When the word "Debate" (or argument) is used, seems like there is going to be a contest, i prefer to share information and clear concepts( including my own)Regarding the former, I think my point still stands in that the fighter's RCS increases the moment you put on stuff on hardpoints. So in these dire need times is it really worth spending another 100 million dollars and wait another 2 years for it? I do not think so. However you are more than welcome to debate it.

Regarding the second I could not agree more with you. The bird really looks mean and lethhal.

3 confirmed 3 on order. Delivery 2019Apologies in advance - Can someone update me on the Nigerian order for the JFT?
3 confirmed = 3 delivered?3 confirmed 3 on order. Delivery 2019
Unless engine gets a resoanble upgarde what benefit will hardpoints make beyond a separate pod point..none ..also in era of double and triple racks this becomes even more clearer.Max take off is now almost 30k lbs and max external load almost 9500lbs or 4300 kg plus
Look foreword to block 3 with following configuration
11 stations , 4 each on wings plus centerline and two on intake like f-16 plus internal fuel capacity increased by another 500-700 lbs
Total fuel 5135 lb internal and 800x1 plus 2x 1100 liters external
So 3000 liter internal plus another 3000 liters external for 6000 liter or 10k lbs

Since there is no such thing as absolute stealth even with a so called 'stealth aircraft' it comes down to tactics. Putting ammo on the aircraft increases the RCS on some aspects but not all. This is where strategy cones in. If you are an airforce tasked with guarding a certain geographical region, you will evaluate your enemy's capability, and the physical approaches he may take towards yours. If you can rely on a very good radar coverage on the ground and in the air, you may plan to vector in your defenders to meet heads on with the enemy. In that case, the major portion of you aircraft exposed to incoming radars will be the nose and frontal flaps and the front section of your missiles. If you lower the RCS on these, you will achieve your results. This seems to be the theory behind selective stealth adopted in Su-57. Your battle plan will then depend on correct positioning of your 'semi-stealth' assets in relation to enemy assets.
EDIT: BTW, when you read that fighter X reduced RCS by Y percent, do you think it means a 360 degree RCS reduction? RCS has an inherent directionality to it, which is why we talk about 'frontal RCS'. Those reduced numbers inherently imply a certain direction which is often left unspecified.
Sir your comments requested on issues of superior AD of Jets i.e jammer,Flares/Chaffs suppression of heat/smoke/ir signature. As during Indo-Pak latest air skirmish I have read that Indian jets were unable to lock on the Pak jets. Perhaps the strong point of SU57 shall be it's superior defenses rather than stealth.
On other hand I have read that Indian AF is applying RAM coatings on their jets during upgrades do PAF have applied such coatings on Pak jets.
