I would call that a cruciform tail rather than a T tail. And it's a high wing, drawing has it as a low or mid wing.

That's fair, though we don't know how close the sketch "artist" actually saw the thing. I'm just saying it ain't terribly far off.

If your job is to inform the Joint Chiefs that the ruskies have a bomber with a canopy and ejector seat, two big honking jet engines and a tail gunner, this'll do.

I mean, maybe? Never worked intelligence but I assume there's a shitload of extrapolation and assumption. Also realistically they'll paint it as a 12th Gen aircraft and demand 50 billion more funding to close the capabilities gap.
