Those are invisible?

They need to collaborate with the Klingons on their technology....

Russian and Iranian leaders are drama queens when talking about their military weapons.

They have external hardpoints and the engines are in external nacelles; not enclosed in the airframe.

That’s a whole lot of wing plus fuselage.

Yeah I don’t think so. Unless they’re actually plastic all the way thru. Exposed engine nacelles, underwing hard points, vertical stabilizers near perpendicular to the fusilage.... I don’t think so.

If they’re invisible why were they veiled?

Usually when someone brags like this they are making up for some inadequacy.
