Oh Those Russians!

At first I just laughed at this, but then it ocurred to me that the Smithsonian were on a fishing trip, so watch this, and hear about how the KGB spied on American industries in the late seventies and early eighties.


Then, when you've stopped laughing about how vulnerable were American industrial secrets concerning "perfect materials" for making aircraft. See this at 3 mins 42 secs. Apparently the Soviets didn't know where the CIA got the Titanium from to make SR-71 "Blackbird" spy planes. Let's see whether Vesti can come up with something interesting on this.


Update 25 May 2018. At 3 mins 26 secs. Vladimir Putin "It is a known fact that most Boeing airplanes are made with Russian titanium." Thank you Russia Insight!
