    You know most aircraft, when shot down, were traveling over enemy territory right?

    Airplanes don’t get shot down over friendly territory.

        Steal it, study it, make copies of it.

        The F35 is the result of Billions of research and development dollars. And the adversaries we have (ie: China) are very, very good at copying technology.
