Canada had one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world in the 1950s. The US helped us trash the whole program. Our government said they were too expensive. The lead developers, engineers, spent the rest of their careers at NASA. Every example of the Avro Arrow was destroyed. Nothing left for a museum even except a nosecone that was secreted out of the plant and hidden.

Look for speedy immigration to the USA of Ukraine's most adept drone engineers. There is no way the US is going to not get the most advanced technology in the world. Especially from an allie. (Actually I just saw a 60 Minutes report where the leaders of the most talented Ukraine engineering firm are two Americans. So Americans are already involved).
