Pretty sure a transistor-level of accident analysis would be only possible in peace-time? But the 1st LT was parabellum, so maybe it counts. (Forgive my grammar)

Ukrainians are sending Russian hardware to US and other allies for analysis - immediately. But if your only ally is Iran and North Korea, perhaps you really don't have so many options...

Maybe the best source for Russian military tech since the German reunification when the BRD inherited the not too badly maintained frontline stuff from the NVA. Which was not, as opposed to most other Warsaw pact nations, export variants of Russian hardware. As a frontline state in the Cold War East Germany gear was close to Red Army/Air Force/Navy specs.
