In a way that would be great. Then we could grow up a little bit faster.

Well if that were to happen, that would be the end of a lot of defense business that the US does with many countries around the world.

I mean it has already happened. The F-35 relies on very thick (10cm+) layer of radar absorbing structures with special internal geometries (don't wanna go into detail regarding this).
Unfortunately if the precise construction of said structures is known, it becomes vulnerable to specially crafted radar pulses which make it generate strong returns.
So it's paramount that the exact layout be kept secret (and likely there's some variation between manufacturing batches, but this is just conjecture).
Needless to say, the US very likely has this info on every jet it sold, and a sufficiently motivated and sophisticated adversary can likely figure this out if the plane spends a long enough time in front of their radars.
That's why the US has been extremely careful about where and how the F-35 gets to fly.
(I think I know, it has to do with how its 'stealth' works.)
