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….
He was tried in Colorado. That’s how.
He betrayed his country, threw away his career, lost his pension and went to prison for $110k. That’s it? Hard to believe there were no more payments.
This guy may not be quite as bright as he thinks he is.
Never trust Indians. Ever.
I read about Cold War spies and for how little they would sell tremendously valuable secrets.
“a lavish $3.5 million cliffside villa in Haiku, Maui.”. The Chinese must have given him much more than 110k. He should have been executed, damn traitor.
I believe it was Honolulu. He got 32yrs. He’s no longer in Colo. supermax prison, but recently transferred to Springfield, MO.
Should have gone to Terra Haute.
It sounds like the place he’s in now is a medical facility, so maybe he’s dying.
He should have been the guest of honor at a Rosenberg Rope Rodeo.
“In return, he was paid over $110,000…”
That’s all it took? Wow.
It is sickening that so many people who hate America get citizenship and high security clearances only to turn spy. We are loaded with them.
Separately, but related, why do we still have an H1B program?
Thank a liberal.
The Chinese haven’t had an original thought in over 2,000 years.
Hopefully from a polonium injection.
$110K to sell out the country?
The Indians do work cheap. That’s how they’re taking over Big Tech. And now they’ll undercut native born Americans in the espionage market as well.
Nobody travels outside travels
of Communist China without being thorough vetting by the CCP. That’s what the “Social Credit Scoring” is all about. It’s the largest spy network ever created.
And everything they proffer is mocked made in china.
