Russia unveils 'stealth' bomber
Moscow - Russia unveiled on Thursday the mock-up of a pilotless bomber plane that its constructors say will be even better than the famous US stealth fighter at evading enemy radars and anti-aircraft fire.
NTV television showed a full-sized model of the bat-like plane known as Skat, which means "stingray", at an airshow just outside Moscow - the first public glimpse of the project run by Russia's MiG corporation.
The aircraft has a flattened, swept-back profile reminiscent of the US air force's stealth aircraft, with a bubble-like cockpit area, although the plane will not have a pilot, NTV reported.
According to the report, the Skat's constructors claim the stealth technology will make it even less vulnerable than the US version to radar detection.
"Many firms are trying to work in this area, but few so far have achieved results. Today we have begun real work on building an assault craft," the director of MiG's Mikoyan design bureau, Vladimir Barkovsky, said on NTV television.
RIA Novosti news agency quoted Barkovsky saying that the Skat will be able to attack land and sea targets, particularly enemy anti-aircraft sites, even if coming under heavy fire.
It will weigh 10 tons, be able to carry up to two tons of ordnance and have a range of 4 000km, RIA Novosti reported.

SEE WHAT I MEAN ABOUT OUR PRESS!!!
Theyre not loyal patriotic americans. Youre supposed to keep our military technology secret. Just like when we broke the sound barrer back in the 50s the Press had to report that and now everyone has fighter jet technology.The Press had to print our Stealth technology and now russia has em. Whatever happend to our old Treason Laws? Back in the old days you commit treason the punishment IS DEATH!!! The last victims of our old treason laws to be put to death was back in July 7th 1865 4 assassin conspirers to abe lincoins death were hanged on guilty of treason to US Goverment. So why cant that apply to the press? The Press are the ones threating our national security by printing military technology secrets. Just like back in 1991 we develped a spy satelite that was suppose to listen to other nations military telephone conversations. When NASA launched the satelite in 1991 the Washington Post has to print the secret out. Just like The New York Times printed the money technology was to track down the terrorist.Now why cant congress re establish those old treason laws back on the books? And add any reporter of the press who prints any unauthorized military technology to the papers is subjected to the death penalty.
