      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.

      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.

    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.

      @@jibicusmaximus4827 it saves fuel _for the smaller craft._
      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

      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.

    Funny thing is that the Zveno (literally meaning "chain link") really was referred to as "flying circus" amongst the military. BTW, the Oka, being a reactive mortar, had a brother called 2A3 Condensator (more like "compensator", lol), which was an actual 406-mm nuclear-capable self-propelled artillery cannon. A moving naval gun. Sick. But still not as sick as D-80 with 535-mm. I guess, it's about that time the soviets ran out of amphetamines produced during WW2, so the thing was never actually built.

      Initially hydraulics were considered, but to counter recoil force, the system itself would require flexible tubing made out of materials, which did not exist at the time. Amount of force which was produced by recoil was so great that any hydraulic system would have exploded after first shot. Muzzle breaks were also installed, however, as calculations have shown, it showed signs of damage after first shot and was ripped out after 3rd, resulting in exploded barrel.

    My main reason to admire Russia is, their budget on military is relatively small when we compare it to USA but it effectively creates new technology. Imagine if they have USA's budget on military,no one will be computed to them.

      Comparing budgets in Federal Reserve currency is a big mistake...
      A plane bolt in Russia costs the equivalent of 1 dollar, the same bol in the US counts 99 dollars...
      The Russian factory produces 100,000 bolts a day and is worth $100,000, the US factory produces 100,000 a day and is worth $10,000,000

And 18 January 1911, Ely landed his Curtiss Pusher airplane on a platform on the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania anchored in San Francisco Bay.

      Essentially its diesel-electric like modern trains are, and some hybrid Diesel cars and trucks out there.
      There different systems but what you describe is diesel engine runs a generator that in turn generates electricity to feed bunch of electric motors, the most common type is the one that uses electric engine aid for the diesel to remove the transmission, the electric motor acts like the transmission during low speeds for extra torque applications.
