The U.S. was shocked to discover that Iran was capable of replicating the unmanned RQ-170 aircraft, but they were in for more once they heard what their Italian allies had managed to replicate tech as well. Shortly after Iran released their replica of American technology, Italy was inspired to do the same. Italian government official, Francesco Virilisati said in an interview,
"At first we were frightened of the consequences of stealing American technology. We have been studying the hang-glider for centuries, but had no success until we captured an American version. Once Iran released their replica, we felt their doing so would overshadow ours and make ours seem insignificant. Our hopes were that this would prevent and animosity between our nations."
