12 советских разработок, которые Запад скопировал и не признал

A Soviet engine powered American military satellites for twenty years. An ejection seat, for which a factory was opened in the US—and never purchased. A lunar engine from the seventies, found under a tarp in Samara and shipped to Florida. The world's first supersonic passenger jet, which took off two months before Concorde—and which history has recorded in copies. A titanium submarine, the existence of which the CIA disbelieved for nine years. A single pilot's maneuver over Le Bourget that rewrote the concept of the fifth-generation fighter. Twelve Soviet developments. Twelve stories of how technology changes hands—and loses the name of its creator.
