Let's not forget that they survived those 'tough times' with generous US financing.
- madeuptempacct 8y agoLet's not forget that the US was buying up USSR tech as much as it could during those times. The US bought the designs for the YAK-141, which helped the development of the F-35. Oh, and the Russians invented stealth. I was wondering why you were trying to prove your invalid point that the USSR did not lead in innovation in some, limited sectors - looks like the only thing your account does is hate on Russia. Which is fine, but I am kind of interested in the why.
- gandhium 8y agoYes, USSR invented stealth, internet, iphone, google and whatnot. Ok, on the serious side - US obtained that design in joint agreement with a huge financial boon for YAK bureau to develop another plane for Russia. Guess what - nothing from Yak design went into F-35 and nothing was produced in Russia by Yak. Coincidence? I think not(c).
