H/t reader squodgy:
Look …..an F-35 that works!!
I recall how in the ’80’s the Barnes Wallis designed swing-wing Rockwell B-1, originally intended as a supersonic bomber for USAF, was downgraded to “Subsonic” due to performance target shortcomings.
Fast forward to 1990, post USSR collapse & USAF observers find the TU-160 “Blackjack” clone of the B-1, but fully SUPERSONIC!
Looks like they’ve done it again.

But we’re constantly told the sanctions are busting them. Disinformation.
