Are you sure about that? I mean Mossad stealing France's blueprints of the Mirage 3. Because I remember reading somewhere, that since France was supplying Israel with planes, tanks, and weapons (before the US took over as the main contributor,) they gave the Israeli's the Mirage 3 because it was becoming outdated for the French Air Force. And also, that's how they got other Mirage's like the IV and another early Mirage (by buying them, and then suiting them up for their own uses, not stealing the prints).
