America tried to steal Mig-15:

You mean the the aircraft using a cloned Rolls Royce engine? Like the one
flown to South Korea by a North Korean pilot?

You mean the one a Soviet pilot flew to Japan?


Do you know that B-2 and F-117 are based on Russian technology ? They
even said it in the History Channel.

Next time you see that show please note they only used the Russian radiation
scatter data on the F-117.

And the Soviet space shuttle was a cheap knock off of the U.S. Space shuttle.

So, if America technology is so superior why they have tried to buy or
steal Russian equipment.


For the same reason the Soviets were, and the Russians are now, trying to
obtain U.S. weaponry: intelligence gathering.

Shall we talk about the Soviets copying solid state technology?

Shall we discuss the abyssmal safety records of the Soviet nuclear submarines?

How about Chernobyl?

How about stealing the plans for the atomic bomb?

Look, I won't deny the Soviets/Russians haven't come up with technology
superior to the U.S., but they really don't have an edge in anything anymore.

The Soviets were the first to put satellites into orbit, the first to put a man
into space, the first to put a woman into space etc, but their launchers and
capsule technology really hasn't changed since the 1960s.

Now look at the human costs of Soviet/Russian technology. A major lake that is
dying because they reversed the direction of the flow of a river. Rotting
submarines with leaking reactors. Parts of the country where children are still
being born with defects from nuclear and chemical testing. A long delay in
reconstruction after WW2 because Stalin HAD to have the atomic bomb. The list
goes on.
