from the top it definitely has a feeling towards someone swiping the plans from G.D. and sending them on to the Union.

Pardon my ignorance, but...
What do you meant by 'variable geometry' and "swing wing?" Also, what is an 'anti- shipping mission?'

the wings can change their sweepback angle in flight for various speed ranges,from almost straight for lower speed such as takeoff and landing,to a dart-like delta planform for high Mach dashes. anti-shipping means flying out to sea to find enemy ships and sink them,usually with special surface-skimming missiles.

Looks like an F-14 that has been stretched at both ends, compacted at the sides, and with an engine removed

or perhaps a Russianized copy of the F-111?
