You know most aircraft, when shot down, were traveling over enemy territory right?

Airplanes don't get shot down over friendly territory.

If the aircraft is already without pilot and will crash soon what can the enemy do? shoot it down?

Steal it, study it, make copies of it.

The F35 is the result of Billions of research and development dollars. And the adversaries we have (ie: China) are very, very good at copying technology.
