SYDNEY - Chinese spies stole key design information about the F-35 Lightening II multirole fighter, set to join the air force fleets of Australia, Japan and other U.S. allies, according to documents disclosed by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Monday.
The report, citing new disclosures published by German magazine Der Spiegel, Chinese cyber spies stole huge volumes of sensitive military information, including "many terabytes of data" about the fighter such as details of its radar systems used to identify and track targets, according to a top secret U.S. National Security Agency presentation.

stole... America sure has a lot of enemies in this administration
Stole? Those cheap b@st@rds! They could have at least bought sensitive information like they did under Clinton!
Exactly! Hillary Clinton sold them the store back in the 90s
Hell they were giving guided tours of Los Alamos for pete sake.
Maybe they’ll be able to produce it on time and on budget.
They just ‘loaned’ them the HDD full of NEST data, and when it was ‘overdue’ found it behind the copy machine (Ya think they copied it?) Maybe the overdue rental fees were too much...
The wording of that article makes it sound like we’re playing one big game of Civilization.
“THE CHINESE HAVE STOLEN FLIGHT!”
We need to station our highest-ranked agents in our most tech-rich cities, perhaps?
I’m sure they believe we owe it to them, due to scores of hundred billion dollars they’ve loaned us; with USA being completely headed for finanicial collapse. They want to get something back for our scam.
The US should buy the Red Chinese knock off, it will cost less and be just as capable.
That would account for the delays. A lot would have to be changed and moved up a generation or two.
Why not, we're probably already building ours with Chinese parts!
They stole the plans for the slowest fighter the world has seen in decades. Did they also get plans for the Norden bombsight and the B-29?
So what's stopping the Chinese from getting these files as they skip from server to server?
Maybe this was the plan. Allow the Chinese to steal the plans to this flying POS that can be knocked out of the sky by any F-22.
