Japanese Stealth Fighter

It looks like the Japanese are entering the Stealth race with the unveiling of their X-2 fighter. It will be interesting how this plane handles when it does it's initial test flights soon. Looking at it, it looks as if it shares some characteristics with the F-22 including thrust vectoring.

Looks like an F22's ugly brother, something looks odd with the canopy on that airframe. Wonder how stealthy it will be ?

I was expecting a stealth Gundam from Japan by now.

I guess we have to wait until the "special edition" comes out for the transforming version.
It certainly LOOK more lithe than the Chinese stealth aircraft those things look HUGE and 350 mil?
THAT is cheap.

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't look all that stealthy, but I will leave that to people like Zaphod to make clear.
