MiG is a Russian manufacturer?
- fspeech 5y agoThey meant MiG was an example of real innovation from the USSR and copying alone, in the bomber case, wasn't innovation.
- iab 5y agoOk, that makes sense
- ggm 5y agoYep. The Rolls-Royce "Nene" jet engine was sold under licence to the USSR and when the cold war broke out, the USSR cancelled the non-compete and worked the design up to develop the engine for the MIG-15. So, to be fair to the other point of view, the "birth" of their jet engine technology was IPR theft in the cold war. it wasn't spying, they just broke contract but boy: they took it to another level.
