perhaps they acquired ex-Mig personnel
And/or some wind tunnel data for that planform.
Bill Sweetman on AvWeek Ares blog makes the very good point that a delta is not best for stealth (rear edges at 90 degrees).
The conical camber of the wings makes me think it is for air-to-air missions (same feature as F-15 and F-106), but large internal volumes may hint more at strike. So a part stealthy mixed role platform? I am thinking this is more a tech/prestige demo than a real prototype.
