Well then. Official proposal coming up.

Proposal Beta: A portion of the Imperial defense budget shall be allocated for the purchase of sufficient SAM sites/vehicles to provide coverage of Imperial military and C3I installations.

IMO, we do need missiles in order to effectively engage in surface-to-air combat or air-to-air combat. I'm not entirely sure we have the capability to develop a perfectly stealthy fighter or interceptor, and we almost certainly don't have the capacity to field very many even if we could build them. Engaging enemy fighters BVR with our own fighters is what we should strive for, and we can do that currently with our F16s. They may be old, but they can still mount AMRAAM missiles. As for surface-to-air, AAA can't really hit fighters, and neither can MANPADS so we need effective SAM systems. If we don't develop or import these now, we'll regret it later.
Spot on. Any stealth will have to be thrown away once you engage within visual range - you just need a camera and any modern (read: 2014) motion detection software to track decently.

Nor it is practical anyway in BVR unguided weapons, unless you have a mach 20+ railgun..

I have another proposal to start up our aero design studies.

Proposal 18. (MEDIUM) Design a turbo-prop trainer aircraft capable of carrying bombs, drop tanks, unguided rockets and missiles on it's 7 underwing and underfusselage hardpoints (~2000kg), armed with 6x50.cal MGs in the wing roots. This aircraft is to be usable in both training and CAS roles.

I think it is more like this masterpiece  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_EMB_314_Super_Tucano

I wanted to propose a turboprop aircraft but next turn.

+1

And some others like it. I feel that a COIN aircraft might be very useful for us.

Any kind of ground attack aircraft would be useful at this point I think.
