New Russian high-speed helicopter design mockup.

 

Similar technology to the Sikorsky Raider perhaps?

 

Rotors are close together? Either it's the product of an overzealous industrial designer (coincidence that, since we were just talking about the Tavor over at TFB), or it has to be. I don't think you can have coax rotors that close together without a set of silicon brains controlling them.

F-22 in E-stonia. Note rivets, plane don't have anti-radar/radar absorbing paint/material.

That's normal:

And they're screws, not rivets.  They're exposed so the access panels can be removed for maintenance of whatever avionics live underneath there.

 

F-22 is not, AIUI, completely covered in radar-absorbing material.  They did that on the F-117, and it was a PITA to maintain.
