A sad remnant of a once kick-ass bomber.

Fix'd. Let's say... it's not a variant of the F-18. However, it is related to the F-18, they are very closely related.

Spoiler (highlight to read):
HINT: It's a prototype

Yes... but you were pretty right, because the YF-17 became the F-18.

That looks like an F-16 with dual exhausts, twin tails, and canard foreplanes. Kinda looks like a su-30 too. Hmmm, what is it? Time to think. It's Japanese, I know that...

Hint: Japanese prototype, never completely produced, dropped in favor of the eventual F-2

I know Japan was pressured to use the F-16 as a basis for their design. That fighter above can't be the mitsubishi F-1, though... grrr. Thinking caps. I know this, I read it somewhere...

FSX program prototype deadend, abandoned on the way to what became the F-2

okay, how about this one instead;

Writing on the nose looks like "21-74"

Hints:
  • Writing on the nose is Arabic for "21-74"
  • Is a "UM" variant, in rather poor shape
  • 'Blisters' on the side, offset pitot tube on top nose, and rear seat periscope mechanism partially visible - definitely a "UM"
  • Made in Tbilisi

Here's one in better shape, from a different view
