[Kompromat]

This is the first time i have seen it , anyone knows what this is??

Mitsubishi ATD-X?

But I dont think that ATD has canards.

This is photoshop, and the plane here is a cancelled Sukhoi project. Forgot the name, will get back with it soon.

Mitsubishi ATD-X - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to WIKI ATD-X program was targeting 5th generation plane. They doesn't look stealthy maybe some prototypes

I don't think so man , that must be one hell of a photoshop.

Mig Project 1.44

The second Jet is somewhat closer to Mig Project 1.44 but still there are many differences if you compare this image with Mig Project 1.44 images.

F-3 Japan is supposedly working on it.

The first one is confirmed photoshop, no doubt about that. Look at the peoples and their shadow. And the canopy of the aircraft.

The second one looks credible enough, but there are some minor flaws in the pics. Look at the shadow of the vertical stabilizer on the left wing, you'll get the idea.

Still doubtful. But Sukhoi was pursuing similar projects in the 90s.

Nope.

These are CG and photoshoped images of the 1980's indigenous Japanese concept for the Mitsubishi FS-X project which was later scrapped when the USA, under Bush I's administration, forced Japan to choose the F-2 (modified F-16) instead.

In October 1985, the Defense Agency began considering three development options for the FSX: domestic development, adoption of an existing domestic model, or adoption of a foreign model.
The agency originally favored domestic development.
The Japan Defense Agency's research and development arm, the Technical Research and Development Institute, announced that, except for the engine, Japan possessed the domestic capability to develop an advanced fighter for about $1 billion.
But by late 1986, after consultation and much pressure from the United States, it decided to consider a coproduction agreement with the United States.
And in October 1987, Japanese and United States defense officials meeting in Washington decided on a joint project to remodel either the F-15 or the F-16.
In November 1988, the United States and Japan agreed to cooperatively develop the FS-X fighter aircraft, basing its design on Lockheed's F-16 Block 40 fighter aircraft.
Once the agreement was reached, it came under heavy criticism from members of the United States Congress concerned about loss of key United States technologies and technological leadership, risks of Japanese commercialization of technology at United States expense, and an insufficient share in the project for United States-based firms.
As a result of the controversy, in early 1989 the United States demanded and obtained a review and revision of the agreement, restricting technology transfer and specifying that United States-based firms would receive 40 percent of the work.
The controversy left bitterness on both sides, and Japanese industrialists, convinced that a Japanese-designed and Japanese developed FSX would be superior to a modified F-16 codeveloped by Japan and the United States, were irritated at United States pressure to renegotiate.
They considered the agreement already favorable to the United States.
Japanese industrialists and defense planners seem to be inclined to be self sufficient with respect to future weapons research.

The above picture is a photoshop of the Gripen:

Notice the similarities; the wings, the canards, , the canopy, the forward and the mid fuselage.

The original FS-X concept:

Other CG images of the FS-X concept:

These pics are based on the F-2. Notice that the tails on the blue and the silver FS-Xs are different. The blue one's tail resembles the original concept while the one on the silver bird has an uncanny resemblance to the F-22's tail.

Intriguing......very interesting looking plane. At first I thought it was a Sukhoi, lolz...

If the Japanese were allowed to research in military technology, I really wonder what kind of stuff they'd come up with.

 

[Icewolf]

F-22 and Sukhoi photoshop.

 

[Luftwaffe]

I would choose F-15 Silent Eagle over these two any day, crap PS with large RCS, the images are mix of F-16-F-18-F-15-F22, observe.

this is the reason I hate photoshop it boggles your mind for minutes to figure out whether the images are real or not damn you adobe
