hahah true, not nearly as much as the SaaB GlobalEye though… which isn’t to knock the aircraft it just literally looks like an AI generated image of a plane.
The GlobalEye looks like a regular airliner with some stuff glued on to it. The C295 with the super high-mounted wings and unusually-tapered fuselage that seems to have been designed to match the wingtips definitely looks weird even before the surveillance stuff gets attached
The C295 is based on the CN-235, which was originally designed as a transport aircraft. Hence, the wings are high-mounted for clearance and the tail is moved up for a rear hatch/ramp to fit. The fuselage of the C295 was elongated by adding segments, adding to that ‘weird’ look. I quite like it.

That plane should consider itself lucky Wikipedia shows a picture of it from a more straight-forward angle lol.
I was literally thinking the same thing lol
