Interesting latest iteration if the design - looks far more like the proposed fighter-bomber version of the YF-23 than anything else - and obvious a long range interceptor in the mould of the F-3 than a short range dog fighter.




That, of course, is what the Japanese want for the longer ranges in the Pacific.

It was also interesting hearing the BAE FCAS MD be quizzed at Farnborough by Sky News concerning rumours of Australia joining the programme - and evading the question rather than denying it.

Proposed FB-23 fighter-bomber..
