Subsonic CMs are known for their low signatures but less than 2 hours loiter time based on their 0.8 mach speed, a UAV with its large wing span increases both its loitering capability as well as RCS and a stealth drone tries to bring that back by balancing the RCS vs. endurance issue using the flyin...

Those pods could now be built as stealthy and powered like the Taurus KEPD 350 or the JASSM-ER flying out closer to the engagement zone without being detected and then releasing the munitions. That would be a capability addition for non stealthy jets.

There are places where Pakis dominate, it would worthwhile to get those, however we have seen how difficult it is during kargil.

brar ji, the gripe is more about doing COIN stuff using armed UAVs and not about the ASW capabilities, the latter would be a welcome development.

Afg. would like to use the planes against Taliban and in its war on terror much like Pak claims to use its f-16s, aiding the purchase of those Afghani planes and having a stake on their use should be an achievable strategy within the window the Trump presidency offers.
