Nice Work. reminds me of the movie STEALTH http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/stealth/ and this image http://www.allmoviephoto.com/photo/.....ealth_017.html

Same as this one already sayd :3:3:3
But i add to like very much the sinuous lines of the design, looks very elegant

Oooooh, ASAT-launches are very cool. I like this design.

Yeah this is world where the 1972 ABM Treaty never really took hold, so there was a lot more study into space warfare.

Of course it is also a world where Russians, not the Soviets, made it to the moon so we had a much more aggressive space program. There was even a Werner Von Braun-like ring space station built! It got taken out in about the first five minutes of actually combat though. Earth has lost all of its space assets to the aliens. Bye, bye GPS.

Very cool.

I'm a huge fan of alt-histories.

I'm not surprised, as a space station of any kind is a huge target...

GPS is for people who can't use a compass.

Reminds me a little of the Firefox:) Very sleek design, Baron:) Thanks for posting

Nice smooth seems to piece together nicely, Great Pic though!

Very Impressive!
You'd need one heck of a power-plant to get it going!
Scramjet perhaps?

With an original mission profile of a fighter-bomber you can be sure that a scramjet isn't in use. Those are really only good at high altitudes and high speeds. At low altitudes they work atrociously compared to other engines.

That looks like what a combat capable "Bird of Prey" should be. It also strongly reminds me of another aircraft, but i can't remember its name.

ASATs rule. Something like 3 countries have them in inventory?

Sort of defeats the purpose of a stealthy aircraft to have external hardpoints, though, doesn't it? That's one of the things that has made the recent US designs so chunky through the fuselage -- putting all of the ordnance inside the airframe until time to expend it. Other than that, it's a nice design, reminiscent of some of the blue-sky German designs at the end of WWII, like the He P.1078 B and C.

Yes but the hardpoints are removable just as they are both the F22 and F35. In this case they are needed since the ASAT missiles will not fit in the internal weapons bay.
