Note how tiny the rest of the aircraft is when compared with the
cockpit...

it is not tiny at all. the explanation you are looking for is: "a
picture shot with a wide-angle lens at close distance". for the very
same reason the nose of a dog on a close-up shot with a wide-angle lens
looks bigger that it is in real life

the front portion of the design is obviously "inspired" by su-34 design
(if not flat-out copied from it).

i wonder what they are going to use as a source of the engines.
remember, it took two mig-21s to make a single sr-71 and japanese
definitely wouldn't want to deal with this kind of supply difficulties
