So the Americans decide they need to steal the blueprints of the new advanced fighter jet from the Russians, build it, and learn all its secrets. They send their best spies and they manage to steal a set of blueprints. The best minds get to work, study the blueprints, manufacture all the parts, and assemble them, producing a bulldozer. They scratch their heads, disassemble the thing, check all the parts, measurements and instructions. They reassemble everything again and get a bulldozer. So they figure they are missing some crucial information that's not in the blueprints and decide they need to kidnap a Russian engineer who was part of the program and make him work on it. Again, the best spies get to work and manage to kidnap a Russian engineer. They pay him a lot of money and he gets to work. He checks all the blueprints and measurements, directs the assembly, and produces a bulldozer. Then he looks at the blueprints and points to some tiny print at the bottom of the last sheet that says "use a file to finish the project." ( ) (use a file to remove imperfections?)

... is what will be done about it. Russia scored some cheap points with their population by doing something almost juvenile and all the "adults" in NATO can do is call this irresponsible and unprofessional. Same thing happens when Russian planes buzz US/NATO planes in international airspace. Whatcha gonna do?
