< this story has been around since the 90's... I remember reading it when working for Pratt & Whitney.
The real joke is that the USAF mandates frozen birds fired in some of the tests, the reasoning being that if a component survives a frozen bird, a live bird is no problem.

Goes against reason


Clearly, it’s not all that intuitive to use thawed poultry in these tests. Just as clearly, firing a frosted pullet bullet at something to be impact-tested isn’t all that unreasonable an action to take.

The legend’s appeal lies in its aura of smug superiority that “we” are smarter than “them.” We, says the legend, would have known to use thawed birds. Moreover, when the other country screwed up, its engineers couldn’t figure out the error on their own. We thus earned even more of a mental pat on the back in that it was our engineers who had to explain the “obvious” to these brainless foreigners.”
