As I see it there are only 2 possibilities:

1) We're so stupid that we allowed class A technology to fall into enemy hands without a for sure self destruct and/or plan to destroy it which is unthinkable stupidity.

or

2) The technology we allowed to fall into enemy hands looks class A but really isn't thus making them think they made a big score. The reality under this scenario is that we gifted them a cool looking POS.

Stealth Technology (fighter/bomber) is 70's and 80's technology. By the time we saw it (1988) ya gotta believe we were already working on far superior designs. I have to believe we know all the weaknesses of those planes, have the ability to spot them on radar and shoot them down. I also believe we already have the next generation of superior technology.

that's interesting. Is there speculation that they made the mock up as a propaganda piece?
