A gold mine. The systems may be intentionally nerfed (gamer slang for dumbed down/weakened) but the core tech is probably the same. Dismantle them all, study them all, reverse engineer it all and then have the engineers learn everything possible about them, then turn it over to smart folk with access to intel on the actual systems in use by China who can use that knowledge to determine the likely capabilities of the real systems.

Good point. That was something I should have included under the “RISK” category for the CCP.

It factors in to the nature of warfare. Few things are static. That we would obtain and analyze their hardware, then make changes to our stealth designs, doctrine, or training is a risk.

Of course, we suffer the same risk when we sell F-14s and Phoenix misses to Iran, or F-35 fighters to Turkey.

But that is the nature of warfare.
