The F-35B directly copied the VTOL lift/vectoring system from the Yakovlev Yak-141 (1987) because Russia went broke in 1991 and the manufacturer sold out the design to Lockheed...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-141#Cooperation_with_Lockheed The Russians arguably created the first modern SAW concept in the RPD (1945). It just didn't have a quick-changeable barrel. US SF/SOG/LRRP units utilized captured RPDs in Vietnam, and the US didn't produce a similar weapon until the Stoner 63 (which was much more complex and expensive). Poland's PM-63 RAK was created while the country was under Soviet influence & control (SSR) and later disseminated to Soviet (and other Socialist) forces/nations during the Cold War. It was said to have been favored by East German Stasi personnel. It was the first truly successful PDW because it combined the characteristics of a self-loading pistol and a fully automatic submachine gun, and was carried in a holster on the belt. It's laid out just like an MP7. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The optical IRST system used in Mig-29's and Sukhois is just now being adopted by the west. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/04/German_MIG-29_Nose.jpg The west is also moving towards an area denial strategy the soviet used for land based air defense. We can no long guarantee numerical or tactical air superiority in theaters like the SCS. Nah, that's our old 50s and 60s tech. First used on the F-101 and F-102 |

Theres definitely a few Soviet designs we should copy but haven't.
-Hand grenades with fuse initiated impact function: after 1-1.5s burn, the grenade becomes impact initiated. So safe to drop, but on a long throw it goes off on impact so the enemy cant throw it back / allows it to be used against enemies on hills without grenade rolling off target. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGN_hand_grenade - Tunguska air defense vehicle. Pairs 2x 30mm CIWS w/ 8x Air Defense missiles onto a tank body, for protecting ground troops from air attack. 80's tech thats far more capable then what the US is currently designing for SHORAD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K22_Tunguska |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The optical IRST system used in Mig-29's and Sukhois is just now being adopted by the west. No. The first use of an IRST system appears to be the F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger and F-106 Delta Dart interceptors. The F-106 had an early IRST mounting replaced in 1963 with a production retractable mount. The IRST was also incorporated into the Vought F-8 Crusader (F-8E variant) which allowed passive tracking of heat emissions and was similar to the later Texas Instruments AAA-4 installed on early F-4 Phantoms. The F-4 Phantom had a Texas Instruments AAA-4 infrared seeker under the nose of early production aircraft F-4B's and F-4C's and was not installed on later F-4-D's due to limited capabilities, but retained the bulge and indeed some F-4D's had the IRST receiver retrofitted in a modified form.
