I'm sure they'll try, just like they tried to copy IBM mainframes, the IBM pc, the Apollo program, and nuclear power.
They're too stupid to do it, you see, all the smart soviets who were capable of thinking were from Ukraine, which is why they're designing Hunter killer drones in a cave with a box of scraps.
Russians without Ukrainians can't invent anything, which is why the t14 and su57 aren't in Ukraine, the semhat exploded on the pad (which would be hilarious if it had a payload), and they're just generally pathetic failures at everything else.
I sure hope this is the case. I know for sure that China will try very hard to develop technology as the world sort of closes access to high tech. I assume Russia will try too. Unfortunately that's how innovation happens sometimes. Extreme limitations lead to extreme efficiency if the other option is total failure.
China will succeed, over time.
Russia? Never has, never will.
