> F-117 stealth technology is based on research done in USSR

That's like saying that all Soviet technology is based on research done in UK and France. You know: Newton, Lavoisier, Pascal, Boyle, Joule...

> happily took a ride in the first MiG-29s delivered to us in the 1980s and "stole" technology from there

Take a ride == stole technology?

Are you serious?
