MIAMI -- A California woman has been sentenced to more than four years in federal prison for illegally exporting U.S. military gear to China including jet fighter engines and a drone aircraft.
Court records show a Miami federal judge imposed the sentence Friday on 45-year-old Wenxia Man of San Diego. A jury convicted her in June of conspiring to export and actually exporting military equipment without the proper license.
Federal prosecutors say evidence in the case showed Man worked with a person in China to export engines used in F-35, F-22 and F-16 fighter jets as well as an MQ-9 Reaper drone aircraft capable of firing Hellfire missiles.
Man allegedly told an undercover Homeland Security Investigations agent she worked with a spy who helped the Chinese military copy items from other countries.

That is despicable that Wenxia Man of San Diego conspired to illegally export U.S. military gear to China including F-35, F-22 and F-16 jet fighter engines and a MQ-9 Reaper drone aircraft SP5 Mark Kuzinski
I am glad that she was caught and trust that no military materiel was actually compromised. How in the world did this Chinese-American woman get access to F-35, F-22 and F-16 jet fighter engines and a MQ-9 Reaper drone aircraft.
