Who can tell how much code was stolen or what use it has been put to since then. Coupled with the materials and electronics harvested out of that RQ-170, just about anything is possible.<br /><br />Take a look at China's new J-31. Google some images of it and you'll find them chilling.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-91299435142922202552013-01-02T21:11:12.686-08:002013-01-02T21:11:12.686-08:00Lockheed Martin admitted in 2011 that their comput...Lockheed Martin admitted in 2011 that their computer systems had been compromised. So it is possible that the entire F-35 code base was stolen. And once that happens, the ballgame is over. The only way to ensure the security of the F-35 code would be to start again with a blank piece of paper. And it would take at least a decade to recreate functional secure code.<br /><br />This is just one more reason why Canada should run, not walk, away from the F-35 project.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
