Russia's V. M. Myasishchev Experimental Design Bureau has come out with the concept stealthy MALE UAV called "Overview-1." (see above pic)
Some are claiming a variant of the J-20 is going to be China's next bomber.
The Indian Air Force's problems with fighter acquisition are detailed.
Two F-22s arrived in Estonia.
The first two combat coded F-35As have arrived at Hill Air Force Base.
The two competing teams for the Long Range Strike Bomber (USAF B-3) have submitted their designs. The LRS-B designs are supposed to be extremely mature at this point, far more so than most would expect at this stage. There are rumors the Texas sighting of a triangular aircraft was an LRSB prototype, but the air force has denied the LRSB has flown. Sources are now saying a decision is expected in October, yet another slip. Forbes gives an overview for those just getting spun up on the program.
There is a strange case of a stealthy 'Franken Hornet' in the Boneyard. Alpha Foxtrot speculates this was a stealthy UAV/UCAV (*cough*drone*cough*) built to have some commonality with the Super Hornets on the CVN flight decks. Doesn't look like it worked out.
I missed back in June a release by the US Air Force for a fast, cheap and reusable strike UCAV demonstration presolicitation. Stealthy? Dunno. Probably, but it won't be cheap then.
