I wouldn’t be surprised that when the first (serious) picture of the PakDa bomber-concept comes out it looks very similar to this ‘business jet.’

Where’s the windows? Is that really the plane, or an artist’s representation?

Looks like a digital representation of a planned aircraft. I don’t think any paint is involved.

3d model with “Caulk” skin, not camo at all.

I guess this thing will fly as a drone because there are no cockpit windows for any human pilot. That sure will make navigating an airport taxiway tricky unless they will be using IFR on the ground.

Because, to the Russians, “War is business and business is good!”

What a stoopit design. The pilots can't even see our new F-35 Lightning II's coming to fly circles around it then blow it out of the sky.

That's stoopit.

Analize it...

* Kaman tail before the inlets to hide noise and radar signature.
* They are trying to add a little Blended Wing Body and keep the air out of the engine and the Kaman tail with the Leading and Trailing Edge Extensions.
* Reduce noise and thermal signature with the Platus Tail nd maybe double as a bit of thrust vectoring, if it has a moving elevator surface.

Is this a future competitor for "GlobalHawk"?
