If your job is to inform the Joint Chiefs that the ruskies have a bomber with a canopy and ejector seat, two big honking jet engines and a tail gunner, this’ll do.
I mean, maybe? Never worked intelligence but I assume there’s a shitload of extrapolation and assumption. Also realistically they’ll paint it as a 12th Gen aircraft and demand 50 billion more funding to close the capabilities gap.
I would call that a cruciform tail rather than a T tail. And it’s a high wing, drawing has it as a low or mid wing.
That’s fair, though we don’t know how close the sketch “artist” actually saw the thing. I’m just saying it ain’t terribly far off.
