That’s completely true, but China has stolen more recently, like the F-22 and F-35 blueprints.

Any developing country that wants to be a developed country needs to “steal” the tech from other developed nations, like 19th century US, 20th century CCCP or Japan, everyone needs that step, the question is, why the others can’t?

It’s going to be interesting to see how the line continues.
Gaijin has a category for strike aircraft specifically, but China’s last true “strike fighter” is going to be the JH-7. I say they put the MKK and MK2 in the Strike Fighter line after the JH-7’s, best place for it imo.
I mean, the US has developped stealth jets on its own, you don’t need to, but it just greatly speeds up the process, just look at Operation Paperclip back in 1945. The US already had jets but they were bad, the german research just sped that up.
The US was not a developing country then, but innovation spreads from it’s source, take warships for example, every WWI and WWII battleship was fundamentally inspired by the HMS Dreadnought
The US got the jet engine technology from the UK!
USA was gifted a Gloster E28/39 and they then gave it to Lockheed to develop the P-80

Do you have any statement from him that is newer, as of right now this is the latest statement on it I know of.
Ok…but prior to that the US has always acquired technology through partnerships, theft or purchasing.
and so has everyone else and their mother has at the top and down below so it’s not that news worthy
M1911 was a very advanced weapon for its time, it wasn’t stolen or bought outside of US.
AR-15 and 18 and 10, which most modern rifles are based off, are all American designs
M2, which just about every western military uses, was made in the US and was also quite ahead of its time

Everyone gives China and Russia crap for doing this but the US gets a pass. US has heavily leaned on the massive wealth of European partners expertise. They stole Soviet technology, they paid 100k for the first Ak-74 captured in Afghanistan.

A legendary design
To add on, fly by wire was initially made in the US, and it just so happens to be the only reason the vaunted eurocanards don’t drop out of the sky
Agreed, no one cares that say the USS Delaware was as much an HMS Dreadnought copy as the J-20 is an F-22 copy or that all early jet fighters were based off of British and German designs
Did US outright steal information and documents about the HMS Dreadnought?
That’s the key, even like USSR, they got me262 and British engines to develop their jets, from su9, su11 then mig9/15, also the rockets V1/V2, you can’t say they steal, basically it’s like use as references, The British creat the first tanks, do they have the best tank in the world now?
