Didn't they invent the helmet-mounted missile targeting system for fighters?
There is a few things in rocketry they were the first to do as well |

I don't think we adopted much. IF anything we reverse engineered and improved upon the design with superior technology and building materials. A lot of their stuff was pretty crude in terms of manufacturing imo.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I may not be remembering correctly, but Have Blue stealth was based off of a Soviet mathematicians works You are correct. A soviet mathematician worked out the equations you could use to model how much light would refract off of different geometric shapes. Soviet military looked at it, said "this has no military purposes, go ahead and publish it worldwide" because apparently the commies forgot that radar and light are both electromagnetic phenomena. Some dude at Lockheed saw it and snapped it right up to make the Have Blue model. |

The optical IRST system used in Mig-29's and Sukhois is just now being adopted by the west.
 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. |

Quoted: In terms of any sort of military equipment. Yes. We literally copied some of their mobile bridging equipment during the Cold War. In more modern terms, we had RPG-7s produced in US under contract for FMA. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Russians didn’t even invent vodka; the Polish did. Top 3 vodka I’ve ever tried was at a party at the Russian embassy. Bartender didn’t know English so I just kept pointing at my glass for more. I tried asking what brand it was but I couldn’t understand him so I guess theoretically it could been Polish. Anyway, what Polish vodka does GD recommend? My step Dad was a Smirnoff guy and my Dad drank the Swedish brands like Absolute |

Oh of course, this is always bidirectional.
I can think of two: Coaxial, counter-rotating rotors on a helicopter. IRST mode (Su-27). |
