Those are probably some of the most complex and sophisticated machines humanity has ever built. Each one costs 300 million euro, consists of around 100.000 parts, weights almost 200 tons and needs dozens of specialized suppliers to be built.

Good luck reverse engineering something like that.

Even if you had the exact blueprints and enough knowledge, creating a functional production chain would be extremely hard, take years and cost billions.
