But the Russians were the first to put a ballistic missile on a sub with the Zulu and Golf boats
Right, this replica of B-29/50 - Tu-4 - was so detailed that even leather belts on which the portable cameras had hung on had been reproduces of the same color the originals
The Soviets didn’t put a teardrop hull in the water until the Bravo in the 1960’s.
The IJN's I-400 was maybe the initial SSGN?
For sure there was espionage/intellectual theft going on such as the A-bomb and the Tu-4. And I don't know where the espionage begins and where the inevitable similarities in design begin. At some point if both countries are trying to solve the same problem the math is the same and differences will be driven by available tech, resources, doctrine, and culture.Come one, let's not be naive. Another major reason designs looked similar is because designs were being stolen. Of course if you don't have the whole picture, you have to fill in the gaps, which I'm sure is why the details are different.
And the French/Germans. I still have no freaking clue which way I'm supposed to move the trim now until I start to move it and see if it's going the way I want it. It works, just not what I'm used to.

What can I say? Engineers."Please hold this clipboard and point at the bow sir.......and technician, grab a screwdriver and screw the screws into the top that are there because people like to see more screws that are already screwed in getting more screwed"
Nah, that picture was deemed up by marketing/PR types. If those are actual engineers and techs and not actors then they're annoyed at having to talk to other people, do something other than engineering work, and get dressed up.What can I say? Engineers.
Looks like the Design Theft Bureau is still active in the motherland.I'm channeling the voice of @Max the Mad Russian in this video - some super cool aircraft coming out of the Russian helo industry...
