Somebody Know about the K-Directorade?
Is (was) nothing more that the KGB division in charge of all the industrial spionage operations all over the western world, and specially the US.

They just went into a rampage all over the entire American Military Industrial Complex to steal, grab, take, copy or imitate any available technolgy that will serve the great USSR!

1944, in the middle of the war, Russians were allies, a bunch of B-29 bombers flew a long leg tru Alaska and Siberia in its way to Europe, one of them suffered a malfuntion and landed in russian territory, the clever Russians grab the plane, dismatled it, copy every single piece, part an bolt, later they reasembled the plane and returned it to its owners after the war was over.

They went into a remarkable feat of inventivness, they reverse engineer the entire plane and got the Tupolev Tu-4, a carbon copy of the B-29 (there is even a Museum in Russia that displays how this was done). In the proces they obtained an intercontinental strategic bomber, wich at the time they didn`t have! The Tu-4 started a great line of russian intercontinental family of bombers, Tupolev grabed this portion of the military aeronautic market in Russia, started a great lineage of bombers like the Bear family of planes, the Tu-95 being one of the most important.

All started with the Tupolev-4, a B-29 reversed engineered from the Americans!

�Want more? We can continue with this long date "copy tradition" of the soviets.
We can chat here for ages talking about all the technology that the Russians had stolen over the decades. One can talk about the Mig-15, perhaps the most important of all the Russian fighters. This too, was concieved by grabing all the left-overs from the German jet technology of war war II, theyre aerodynamic discoveries and particularly the wing design of the Me-262 in wich the Russians based its conceptions for the Mig-15, not to mention on how they copied and reverse engineered a British turbine, the Rolls-Royce Nene, wich eventually ended powering the Mig-15!

We could accuse US in stealing stealth technology (or could we?) as it is based on work of USSR mathematician Ufimtcev.
I strongly suspect the whole concept was planted by KGB just to drain as much resources from American taxpayer as possible.

New Technologies?.hummm.

Well, for starters What do you think of. the CAR!
but this youll probably say is another Russian invention and perhaps Henry Ford was born in Moscow.je.je.

figuring you are hard to please, and thinking that some stupid rocket fuel that nobody has ever heard off is the best russian can come with as a technological marvel.

What about the amazing invention of all. the electric BULB LIGHT!
What? do you think Edison has son sort of russian ancestry?

Lest keep going. The AIRPLANE!
unless the Wright name comes from Siberia, eh?

The ATOMIC BOMB! that Russians resurcefully copied.
By inventing the Atomic Bomb (sad invention) with the help of geniuses and Physisyst of all over the world: Germans, jews, Austrians, British, Italians, all except Russians.

They also came with the COMPUTER!
that right know, in this moment you are happylly using.

Along with yet, another american invention. The INTERNET!

And after all: stop thinking about eastern european countries as people there are second hand people, even more, those people are clever and are interested in many profiles, but the americans are only interested in their own ing life and make wars everywhere, like the Roman Empire they will fall down and they will be a lesson for the future generations, that peace is the only measure for the new future way of life, when technologies will be more helpul.
