Is it feasible to change the coating and paint for the roll-out ceremony in this short amount of time right now? Because if yes, they should absolutely do it; the coating and paint is half of the plane's style, and the current paint is rather dull. F-22's reflective shiny coating really adds to the charisma; I'm not saying apply the stealth coating that you don't have right now, but aesthetically something shiny always looks better imo.

I suppose locality rates are calculated by costs of components. And workmaship costs of designing and assembling of the plane are not included in the total. This should indicate how dependant the product is on foreign sources.

I wonder if this rate is calculated with the foreign engine at this stage or with the future domestic engine. Probably the serial production locality rate will be different.

Why the military though?
Didnt they intend to enter the civilian market through this company?
