We care about someone getting an F-22. We don't care about someone getting a M-16. Drone swarms would probably be more like the latter.

we don't even really care about the whole F-22, just pieces, like IFF, EW, and other stealth components. and chances are the Chinese and Russians got some of that from the stealth bomber shootdown in the Balkins in the 90s and then the stealth helicopter that was abandoned in Pakistan killing Osama.
