While I have no way to state the following is true....there is substance to it and the persons this came from....and they were in postions within 2 different defense contractors.
When a guy I had as a student found out I had been a Army Avionics tech he volunteered that the avionics used in aircraft sold to our allies lacked many of the features the stuff sold to the US Branches had. He added that we have the ability to shut down some systems in these aircraft should they be used against us.
The other was also a student and worked on missile systems prior to working for our then joint employer. For anyone wondering they both lost their jobs due to cutbacks when the Soviet Union disolved. I told him the story...all he did was smile and say "we gotta keep our edge don't we?"
So perhaps the answer is all with weaopans sold to them by NATO nations. Since NATO countries arm more than China and Russia the final answer may be subjective.

Any high tech weapons that no one else has will all be "classified/top secret" only once the weapons have been seen or we are about to share with our nato allies will you ever hear about these weapons.
An example is the during the first 'Gulf War' (1991) it was announced that we were using the USAF F-117 Nighthawk, stealth fighter was unveiled to the public, it flew in secret since 1981.
I doubt there are any weapon we have that are public knowledge, that no other counties have,

In case you haven't read the news stories, the USA now buys high tech military equipment from China and does not even have the skilled manpower to test them for back door programs. The USA still has the best navy in the world, but can't build a battleship and does not have a school to teach anybody how to drive one. The USA does not even make the best machine gun. The best is a Russian design manufactured in almost every country EXCEPT the USA.

lets put it this way, even if the US cut their military budget in half, we still have the worlds largest and most technologically advanced armed forces.
