In fact, I would recommend that the PAF choose China's first stealth coating technology, the one used on the J-20 fighter jet, rather than the second stealth coating technology, which is currently used on the J-35 series fighter jets.
The first type of stealth coating technology offers less effective stealth capabilities than the second type, but its maintenance is very easy. It doesn't require a specialized climate-controlled hangar or frequent coating maintenance, and there is no significant coating peeling even after prolonged use.
India does not possess advanced anti-stealth radar systems. It will be difficult for them to achieve this goal in the foreseeable future. The first type of stealth coating solution is sufficient to counter India's capabilities.
Therefore, the PAF chose to moderately lower its stealth performance requirements and instead pursue a more economical and efficient solution. Theoretically, this is a better option.
Of course, I'm not sure if AVIC would be willing to provide this solution.
I think many Pakistanis might disagree with my point of view.
