Funny how their designs look strangely familiar. That last jet looks very B1-ish. Yes, very strange.

The B1 first flew in 1974. Sometime in the last 41 years, the Russians might have gotten a good look at one?

That's because it (like the Rockwell B-1) was influenced by the earlier design of the Myasishev M-18

That’s what I thought when I saw that nose.
Wasn’t Bob “B-1” Dornan an occasional visitor to these hallowed e-mails? I would ping him and request an opinion if I knew his screen name.
