Today, Raysia Aerospace finally unveiled their new, and actually their first, True-Stealth Tactical Fighter.

The RX-23, as it is temporarily called, is the first Raysian aircraft to utilize stealthiness on all relevant levels; radar, infrared, and even optical!
The multifaceted Liquid-Crystal skin gives it the ability to optically cloak, mimicing the scenery around it from nearly any direction. The Radar Absorbant materials mixed in with this skin have, as the name implies, givwen this plane the ability to absorb Radar, which goes along with its natural low-cross-section frame, which leaves no uneven surfaces. And to top it all off, this sleak craft's twin Pulse-Detonation/Jet Hybrid Engines (Which give her a top speed of Mach 3.4) are masked by a heat shield beneath the thrust-vectoring exhaust vents, which prevents most of the heat from showing up on Infrared.

[Can you see it? ;)]
Although the test model has no weapons installed, the final version will have several sets of internal bays to store a number of weapons, namely a 30mm cannon on the nose, 2 QAAM reloader systems, and 2 Bomb Reloader systems (which can easily be switched out for bomblet dispensers).
This plane will have all the latest niceties and sensors equipment, and there are even talks of an unmanned version in the near future.
