Maybe we should just leak the “plans” (with some minor adjustments) for the F-35 to Yakolev.
That should have the entire Russian Navy screwed to a bulkhead for the next 30 years.
(Actually, I’d heard rumors when working on the B-1 that an FOIA request had turned out to be to a Red AF inquiry, but “we” had sent ‘em back plans that included odds and ends such as an anchor for a light cruiser and detailed specs for a photon torpedo. Same game a couple of years later with the Shuttle.....)
Man, do I enjoy Dirty Tricks Division duty.
We don’t have to. They already have it. The F-35 VTOL variant flies with the tech from a Yak-48.
