Design concept
This aircraft is a fictional fighter-bomber, inspired by several Soviet aircraft designs.(Su-17,Tu-22m,Tu-128 etc...)
My first idea was to build a Su-17 converted to twin-engine.
The aircraft has variable-sweep wings, and that provide proper performance depending on the speed.

Wingspan: 15.7 m (51.5 ft)

Empty weight: 14100 kg (31000 lb)
Max takeoff weight: 27000 kg (59500 lb)
Fuel capacity: 5700 L internal / 2700 L External with 2 drop tanks
Payload: 8500 kg (18700 lb)
Maximum speed: Mach 2.1 at 8000 m(26200 ft)

It appears that a wonderful aircraft was posted about 2 years ago.
I didn't plagiarize this work, it was really coincidence.

@Falkenwut
Thank you for your comments and upvote !
A fantastic job!!! well done!! I'm astonished that we came to a very similar concept! I feel your work came a lot more refined than mine, to which, I tap my hat off! Keep up the good work!
very well made
i shot down 2 bombers witha bomb(the ammunition identified as a bomb and so did a missile)
This is really nice. You have alot of talent
@MrOofington never, what have you done to deserve one
@SonsoftheMoth you are welcome <3
@SuperSuperTheSylph
Anyway, thanks for sharing.

@SonsoftheMoth no need,it was a pure coincidence that you accidentaly made a plane that looks very similar to his,i just tagged him to see it
sorry :))
happy new year to you too <33
@SuperSuperTheSylph
oh...
Should I credit or remove the post ?
@Falkenwut
Hell yeah! another teardrop shaped aerofoil!!! the build looks pretty good, and doesn't use too much parts!
