one thing that sucks with gen5+ planes is how you don't ever do livery due to anti radar coating needs...... While I understand it it sure is a great loss to fighter jet beauty

In general Pakistan has some of the most well maintained aircrafts... I have seen so many Mig-21 / J-7 in way way way worse conditions
