Looks like it has 12” wheels, like the early Honda cars.

I don’t believe for a moment Japan cannot build an aircraft light years ahead of everyone, be it propulsion, stealth or offensive weapons.

Looks more like a trainer. With all the curves, stealth will be hard to achieve.

This is Japan, after all.

Japan’s going to have a robotic plane with a cloaking device, then send a message to China: “All your base are belong to us”.

The red and white paint is to protect the stealth coating underneath...
