Very very unlikely. Too many different angles and too many large gaps. For example:
Leading and trailing edge of canard/foreplane are different.
Both the foreplane angles are different than the wing angles.
And the wing is cranked so has multiple angles
Leading and trailing edges of ventral fin are different from each other and different from wing and foreplane and different from vertical fins.
Big gap between foreplane and body, meaning big corner reflectors in the all important forward aspect.
Big gap between moving leading edge flap and fixed leading edge of wing, so more corner reflectors in the all important forward aspect.
The nose is also double chined with different chine angles. Bad for forward aspect reflectivity.
The intake angles are very different than the wing or the foreplane angles. Again bad for forward aspect reflectivity.
Sharp crease where the engine inlet cones meet the fuselage. More bad for forward aspect reflectivity.
