Some of the more notorious stolen fighters during the 20th century. I’d never heard the rumors about the bombing of the Chinese embassy.

I’m surprised there’s no mention of Soviet Union building hundreds of full on copies of the B-29 from three that ended up in Russia following attacks on Japan (the USSR was officially neutral in the war against Japan, so said it couldn’t release the aircraft back to the US):

I know where a captured Mig is rotting away. I was surprised to see it when I was there.

It is! But Tupolev didn’t actually do much design work there...

Not much has changed in a couple decades, they cleaned up a bit but not much is missing. There are other things around if you look.
