      If the very first sentence was true, communism would have started the industrial revolution instead of freedom in the USA. Sorry,---it would not have happened with out the USA, and russia has been an impoverished citizenry while people in the USA flourished with their minds, and their freedom. "Be Amazed" at all the dysfunctional things a communist government makes,, (usual copies or given or taken.). We did it better when we were free to do so.

    The crazier thing was the mass popularity of technics, machinery and engineering in society in 1900-1970s. Magazines like Popular Mechanics were actually quite, well, popular in Soviet Union. And the Unoin published its own analogical magazines too. And it was just a part of a social ssytem which also included technical-oriented child clubs, youth societies, practical sections and home enthusiasts communities, educational materials, do-it-yourself kits, tech propaganda in literature, cartoons, movies, newspapers, and much more.
    Nothing like this is to be seen since. Not even the "self-success" or "obey and survive" propaganda is that impressive.

      Not very compatible with stormy weather though. And you could only imagine how large was its turning arc. I think the only role it was good for was the short-range-rockets-carrying interceptor. But when the same result can be achieved with hypersonic rockets from ground-based launchpads or bomber planes, then it gets redundant. Still, it is a fun concept and a good-looking machine.

      USSR continuously terrorised its neighbors, as well as own population.
      What you had in mind was probably the period of 15-20 final years of USSR's existence, when it was something resembling a real socialism. However, let me remind you, USSR existed for about 70 years, and most of them were veeery far from a "good life".
      Any extent of "good life" was limited time wise to approx. Brezhnev's ruling period, and only to those loyal to the regime (and to those unloyal, there were prisons and psychiatric clinics).
      Tell about a "good life" to those multiple millions who perished during state invoked famines, mass deportations, red terror, mass killings, war crimes towards civil population, literally countless innocent victims of GULag, etc.
      Also, tell about a "good life" to those many millions of peasants, who were effectively slaves, had no ID, no right of free moving, no real payment for their hard work, all the way until the end of 1960'ies.
      Speaking about bullsh*tting, I meant state propaganda, again both inside and outside the country. Blatant, sheer, boundless. Nazis and Goebbels didn't invent state propaganda; they only borrowed it from the red comrades, just like concentration camps and other attributes.
      These regimes were like twin brothers.
      However, the big Nuremberg Trial is still to happen against the reds.

      Since they’re made to be small and light they dont have alot of fuel, but carrying them into battle allows them to save the fuel they would use to fly to and from the airfield.
      To use your towing example, if you towed another car then yes you’d use more fuel, but the other car wouldn’t use any.
      And if the other car was a racecar with a small and light fueltank, you could put it inside a semi-truck and since the Semi doesn’t need to worry about being light and nimble on a racetrack it can have much larger fuel tanks.
      Which means even tho it would use more fuel, then it wouldn’t have to stop to refuel on the way to and from the racetrack, while the racecar wouldn’t be able to make that trip on it’s own

      @Judy 21 y.o - check my vidéó On 14 November 1910, Eugene Burton Ely's first experimental take-off of a Curtiss Pusher airplane from the deck of a United States Navy ship. And 18 January 1911, Ely landed his Curtiss Pusher airplane on a platform on the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania anchored in San Francisco Bay.
      So no. The Aircraft Carrier concept first existed in USA. They were performing carrier Flight Ops since 1910.

      @Judy 21 y.o - check my vidéó Also, the Soviet Union was nothing good. I lived in Rostov-on-Don. We needed Capitalist Reforms much earlier. Communism starved over 30 million people. And the Gulags killed many more.
      Life was miserable under an oppressive dictatorship.

      I also spent 36 hours in the Chernobyl Exclusion zone. I can not understand why any military would seek to occupy this area. There is no infrastructure there beyond a $1.9 billion sarcophagus.
      No power plants, no airport, no major road, just a bunch of nuclear dust that stays on the ground until you stir it up.

      Ukraine specialised in rocket building during the USSR times, and was also leading producers after 1991.
      I guess much of the Russian space program (and military) relied on Ukrainian expertise prior to 2014?

    Those Maz military trailers are not crazy designs, they are quite useful for the terrain in eastern Europe, Maz vehicles are still used to tow tanks, pontoon bridges, nuclear missile complexes mobile to this day. The US has also adopted Maz's design to create HEMTT cars.
