stealing jet engine/materials science data and software data are different kettle of fish.

different kinds of bottlenecks. I’m assuming one set is more easily transferrable than the other.

As expected. But from reading the article I think the current plane probably had very little IP theft in the final design. Just your usual clusterfuck of inexperience and poor management.

What they’re after ultimately is the ability to replace foreign components in future planes. Software, Hardware, the whole lot. Along with stealing all the management processes for systems integration.

So in this sense, the hacking might have shaved a few years off their efforts.
