      In fairness, the Russians had one big advantage the Americans didn't..

      Russian scientists.

      But my point is more that they had no compunction over taking German scientists when presented with the opportunity.

          They had a lot of excellent scientists.

          Fun fact, the math behind radar stealth was developed by a Russian scientists and was ignored in URSS because it had a shit title. US delayed translating it because they didn't undersrand the title. After a few years somebody at lockeed marting found it and realized what it meant. I think F-117 was developed based on that.
