This "thing" popped up several times in the news feed recently....still can't get over its shape and what the designers were thinking😄 Maybe they were hoping the enemy pilots would not dare to shoot due to cuteness overload? I don't know..

The visabilty when landing was so bad the test pilots crashed the first few prototypes coming down... but in the air it was apparently very fast and agile.
