And I am saying Iran is very very far from such a design. Which would actually be even more advanced and difficult to create than a Tu-22M.

Your OSINT based knowledge is almost assuredly incorrect

Are there any Open Source intelligence that suggests otherwise?

Skip meaningless OSINT on state projects. Streets riots maybe. Otherwise proof's in the pudding if one steps away and takes a broader look at the technological and geostrategic stance of the IRI. OSINT is just losing the forest to the trees.

Plus steer clear of commentary that strings too many 'fars' next to each other.

1000-2000lb payloads

An aircraft with that kind of payload is too small for heavy anti-ship weapons like ASBMs and supersonic ASCMs.

I don't think you know what OSINT is. Because if you did you'd know there is no OSINT in my post.

This aircraft is ment to be bombing key installations, air defenses, radar, airbases, C&C, etc to allow better success rate for Iran’s missiles.

It can also be used to guide Iran’s next ASBMs and ASCMs via providing targeting data on a moving target from high altitude.

All it needs is a supersonic engine with <100-200 hour life that can be replicated and mass produced.

An unmanned Iranian B-2 or Iranian heavy bomber even with low cost of production in Iran VS US would still be built in limited quantities and be a wonder weapon easily able to be destroyed by allied forces. It’s what doomed the Nazi war machine focusing on low quantity wonder weapons that allies could destroy instead of building a V-3 rocket that can carry a nuke to London, Moscow, etc which would have ended the war quickly.

So in Iran’s case it needs swarm high altitude supersonic VLO bomber drones that can carry a modest payload using a replaceable supersonic engine with a short engine life. By being high altitude it can take advantage of air breathing engine technology similar to HGVs. Iran already has an arsenal of PGMs and glide bombs that can be dropped from Such a aircraft at high altitude.

This is a little old but has anyone else seen this ? thoughts ?

The US Air Force just revealed a first look at its new 6th generation fighter jet. Here's the concept art.

Oh look the air intakes are mounted above the wings. Remember the ridicule that the F-313 got for having air intakes above the wings?

I know some people are waiting for the precise moment, and saying "some words" to David Cenciotti (The Aviationist)

 

[xbat]

the design definitely not for dogfight

I'm not so sure about that

Not need to be a dogfighter

Because it’s not a dog fighter that will be rapidly changing altitude.

B-2 also has wing intakes on top. Flying wing and delta wing designs typically do. It will fire long range stand off weapons and use lasers and EW to jam enemy attacks.

Also F-313 got rediculed because the intakes were on top and WAY to SMALL so not enough air would get to the engine causing possible stalling.

Doesn’t really matter since F-313 is basically dead at this point.

well Bae-Hawk is also have small intake but don't think anybody laugh at it by the way its single engine is more powerful than two j-85

Bae Hawk is

1) a trainer

2) it’s intake is not small probably same size of F-5

3) it’s intake is in a NORMAL position and not ON TOP
