Can you stop pretending you know what you are talking about?
We cant even see the inside of the intake but one thing is plainly obvious, and that is that the intakes are much further spaced then the engines meaning there has to be some 'diverter' or control of
boundary layer. Even if it had no intake tunnel able to divert airflow it could just use an
intake ramp. There is two problems, one as I said dart, we can't see inside the intake so there is no way of knowing anything at this point, even if we could see inside it would be speculation based on known aerodynamic laws.
Again you don't know what you are talking about. Short wings give an aircraft excellent role rate which is very important in maneuvering.
That "bizzare"shape is also an
anhedral design that
reduces stability and increases maneuvering.

You mentioned the aircraft not being supersonic and you also mentioned the wings. The wings on this aircraft are relatively short which generally allows for higher speeds. This was one of the factors that gave aircraft such as F-104 and Mig-21 excellent high speed performance.

In regards to the top mounted intakes, there is zero way you are qualified to speak on the matter and give a definite conclusion. Unless you have performed the complex aerodynamic calculations and ran the aircraft through wind tunnels. Have you?
Are you suggesting that the engines are joked of oxogen when the aircraft pulls up?
Interesting because LEREX create vortex airflow over the center fuselage/wings.
