#3 So if this plane has been confirmed, does that mean there is another super-duper-secret plane out there we don't know about?

#4 Generally there are 2-3 black programs running for every one that is admitted to. That has been true for the entirety of the stealth aircraft development period.

#5 Wouldn't be surprised to find some internal weapons bays on that RQ. Something to take over the "wild Weasel" mission? There is no point in making it stealthy if there is no threat.
