B2 or not B2...


It appears that China has managed to purchase B2 stealth technology from one of the aircraft's engineers. A report in the Washington Times says that Noshir S. Gowadia, a former defense contractor, sold China information on the B2 Bomber's exhaust system that may allow China to develop countermeasures for the aircraft.

Gowadia allegedly also provided assistance to the Chinese to develop a cruise missile with an exhaust system that will make it extremely hard to detect, and also a second missile China could use to intercept air-to-air missiles.

Is it a coincidence that Mr. Gowadia worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the 1990's?

Mr. Gowadia's trial is scheduled to begin in July.
