    I'd certainly be impressed if it managed to cross China without being shot down.

    Hey, you work for a communist superpower, you're flying a state-of-the-art fighter, and you've been doing it so much that you're actually bored. What better way to add a little excitement then gunning down an innocent robot? (Or maybe just flying by really really fast.) Doesn't hurt that it's from an opposing capitalist nation, whose citizens have enough money and access to technology to build such a device.

    That's right Communist China, my grandmother can build a cruise missle that can reach you from here!
