Now serving a 32-year sentence in the supermax prison at Florence, Colorado, Gowadia confessed in his final statement to the FBI: “What I did was espionage and treason… I shared military secrets with the PRC.”
As the U.S. deployed its B-2 Spirit bombers to vaporize Iran’s underground nuclear sites in a high-stakes precision strike, a chilling echo stirred half a world away.
On a barren airstrip in western China, a ghostly war machine—eerily similar in shape and scale to the B-2—rolled into view. It wasn’t just mimicry. It was theft, nearly two decades in the making—facilitated by a brilliant Indian-American engineer who once held the Pentagon’s deepest secrets in the palm of his hand.
On May 14, 2025, new satellite imagery captured by The War Zone revealed a flying-wing stealth aircraft parked at a classified test facility near Malan, Xinjiang—one of China’s most secretive military-industrial sites. With its massive 52-meter wingspan, tailless design, and signature bat-wing silhouette, the aircraft looked unmistakably like America’s B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
The timing raised eyebrows—but it’s the backstory that turns this into a geopolitical thriller.
Nearly two decades earlier, in 2005, FBI agents raided a lavish $3.5 million cliffside villa in Haiku, Maui. Their target: Noshir Gowadia, a Mumbai-born propulsion engineer who had played a key role in designing the B-2’s ultra-secret exhaust system—a marvel of engineering that allowed the bomber to evade radar and infrared detection alike.
Known as “Blueberry Milkshake” inside Northrop’s vaults, Gowadia was more than a cog in the machine; he was one of its inventors.
What agents found in his home would later shake the U.S. intelligence community: hundreds of documents marked classified, detailed schematics of stealth nozzles, and email records tying him to Chinese government operatives.
Gowadia had taken multiple clandestine trips to Chengdu and Shenzhen—cities deeply embedded in China’s military-industrial network—where he presented Chinese officials with powerpoints explaining how to make cruise missiles disappear from radar and infrared sensors. In return, he was paid over $110,000, routed through offshore accounts and Swiss banks.
Cont’d….
Cheap labor comes at a price. In any event, why should Americans be chosen to get into STEM graduate programs when actual enemy aliens can be accepted instead? /s
If he had been in the old Boy Scouts growing up, he might have read the section in the manual about respect for the flag. The campus malarky revolutionaries would have to find others for their religious flag burning ceremonues.
“The Chinese haven’t had an original thought in over 2,000 years.”
You do not know the Chinese. They have twice as many in China than in the US living far better than you do.
“They have twice as many in China than in the US living far better than you do.”
They also have millions of people still living in caves.
In essence, so do we. Lots of “homeless”. Lots of welfare recipients that without welfare would live in caves too.
Never Trust Democrats.
Wow, reading this while drinking my morning coffee…..hell of a way to start the day.😠
Absolutely true. No integrity whatsoever. A culture of shortsightedness and narcissism.
“The Chinese haven’t had an original thought in over 2,000 years.”
Not true at all.
As for stealing military plans it saves them billions and years on R&D to have someone else do it for them.
And the perp should have been found out by CI years ago. Somebodys weren’t paying attention.
We do it to ourselves. Just from listening to them talk I wouldn't think any of those gals on "The Squad" would have any allegiance to the U.S.A. in any way, shape or form. And yet there they are, walking the halls of congress.
“Never trust Indians. Ever.”
I learned that at IBM. They will treat you like a servant if you let them.
Nobody needs to know when he is taken out back and shot!
“Separately, but related, why do we still have an H1B program?”
Corporations.
How do our intelligence services fail to monitor the travels of someone working on top-secret projects?
He sold out cheap. I guess that's another way to evade questions. So was it ideology? Attention? The thrill?
Rsenburg was Indian? The spy who gave nuclear bomb secrets?
He should have been the guest of honor at a Rosenberg Rope Rodeo.

That would be the Rosenberg Electric Rodeo
or
The Rosenberg Musical Chairs Electric Rodeo.
The poor Chinese scavenge through garbage piles for something to eat. Homeless in the USA go to the nearest shelter for a meal.
There is no welfare in China.
No comparison.
I've been to China. Most live well. I've never seen such an abundance and variety of food anywhere else. The cave dwellers they do have do so by choice, not desperation. I have even seen them make cave dwellings by hacking out rock. Those are really pretty neat.
There more to the B-2 than what the perp told them. Meanwhile, as the Chinese try to get a working example of an ancient B-2 flying, the US has moved on to the B-21.
Everything and everyone in the PRC is owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
If some of the slaves live better than other slaves it is because it enriches the State.
"...the new indictment charges that his lust for money went even further as he shopped U.S. defense secrets to individuals in Israel, Germany and Switzerland, as well China."
