Then there's the Tupolev Tu-4... a reverse engineered US B-29.
Soviets confiscated several of our B-29's that had crashed or emergency landed during WW II.
Copied them and started building them.
Voila' ... they had a nuclear capable bomber.
The current 'Bear' bomber that's flying around N. Korea is a highly modified Tu-4 (swept wings, turboprops, etc.).
