It's relatively easy to make a sharp edged airplane have a low radar signature it's hard to make it fly.
The trick with the very angular F117 was to develop flight controls that can keep it in the air.
As we have seen nobody else (not even us) have developed this design further so it's unlikely they learned much from it.
They are much more likely to have learned from their extensive international spy network than some burned old pieces of electronics.
Who cares? F117 technology is 35 years out of date.
It is not just sinkEmperor, the entitre leadership of the democrap party has had the goal of reducing American exceptionalism. One of the legs of that exceptionaism is our military superiority and thus our super-power status. SinkEmperor’s henchgoons like Maddie Notbright even openly stated that they didn’t want America to be ‘the lone super power’. The steady march toward global governance is the wetdream of the Democrap fools. And they have almost destroyed American exceptionalism from their active agenda applied to education, media, and the economy. We passed the urgent need to use guillotines a decade ago. I fear there will be no recovery from the destruction the democrats and their deadhead voters have accomplished to date.
