The above statement is rather pointless. Nepleslia has/can make 80% of the tech in almost any KFY shuttle in mass production numbers. If you're worried about the tech falling into our hands, well, it's not like we really want to copy Yamatai anyway.
If it's about an investigation being launched after the discovery of such a vehicle, both governments will likely be involved in a lot of posturing, but it can't/won't really change much on the political front.

isn't one big homogeneous group.
Yes technologically the
Greens of Nepleslia might have little technological use for the shuttle, but its going to be some interesting political football should someone find it.
For Yamatai who is trying to gain the trust of other nations in recent months, evidence of Yamatai forces conducting
secret operations within another nations borders will make them
loose face at the very least, and there is always the slim possibility of starting a war with the greens.
But even more worrisome, what if the Reds or Blacks(or some other criminal organization) found it? If they were successful in getting any of the technology it could be a
major boost to them.
Even if they weren't able to reverse-engineer anything, if they could at a minimum get it running under their control they could attack a few strategic targets(even civilian maybe?) and leave Yamatai with the blame.
Or even if they just gained possession of it for a short time they could use it as a rallying cry against the...

See where I'm going with this, maybe I spent too much time around Fred, but I'm certainly not being pointless when I point something like that out.
