On May 19, 1947, the Soviet Tupolev Tu-4 bomber made its first flight. The new plane was an exact copy of the most advanced aircraft of the time, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. Why did the Soviets, instead of creating something original, choose to…

Just like the Soviet space shuttle Buran, the US would have simply given the plans for the B-29 if Stalin had asked for it. We were allies after all. The Soviets spent enormous resources stealing the plans for the American Space Shuttle in the 1970's, when NASA would have freely given then the plans if they had only picked up the phone and asked for them. As it stood, Buran flew once with no Cosmonauts because the first Buran complete enough to fly had no life support or interior fixtures like seats, floors, instruments, etc. Looked cool, but was absolutely useless.
Way to compare Trump to Stalin!
so for anyone who hasn't worked it out yet, the cold war was not a war. It was Gemany developing their space and nuclear programs and coordinating them between the USA and Russia. Hence why USA and Russia were never doing nuclear tests at the same time – always one and then another. Individual German scientists can't be in 2 places at once. Like most people.
Hell the cold war worked so well, they just copied and pasted the technique to the [space'race']. lolz
Idiots making propaganda videos…. TU started 8 years before US copy…… So it's basically the other way round…….. Even f35 works on principle of YAK 141…. But this time US didn't steal… They bought technology from YAK…. Shame on the video maker……
T.U 95 Black Bear wasn't Copied from American Bomber. U,,S,S,R Has Capability to built Bomber. Andrey Tupolev was a famous Russian Aviation Engineer. He designed lots of fighters Bombers of U.S.S.R.
Finnish intelligence colonel M.J. Kari said funny: "The only technical device the Russians have developed is the samovar, and they copied the samovar's faucet from the Germans."
Cool it with the Russophobic remarks bigot
My father was 2-nd navigator on TU-4. He told me about bad engines quality due to bad quality metals used. Tu-4 had no enough power for take-off with full load as B-29. Rus copied all exactly. All nav instruments had imperial units at the beginning. Even personal photo camera was copied (known as FED-2) and nobody knew usage purpose.
Rus could made something from 💩 and sticks only.
I do find the section about the Napoleonic Wars a bit disengenous. The battles that defeated Napoleon was the failure of the invasion of Russia and the subsequent Battle of Leipzig and the Six Day Campaign and all the battles inbetween. where Russia was definitely present and a played a big part. The Battle of Waterloo didn't have any Russians because it was literally too far away for them to reach the battle in time, considering the war had only started 3 months earlier.
How did the soviets build a copy of the B-29? Silly question. The soviets had the blueprints of the B-29
,before the first planes were built in the U.S.
Cold War in a nutshell – "Our German scientist are better then their German scientists"
I like how the guy who says Russia defeated Hitler is also literally the exact same guy who says he wants Hitler's generals.
The other difference between the Soviet Union of the late 1930s and the Soviet Union of the late 1940s was all the lend-lease factory gear that had been provided during the war. Copying the Vultee failed and copying the B-29 succeeded in large part because American-made factory gear could be used in the latter case.
40:30 pharaohs in ancient egypt also never lost a battle against their enemies according to their records
victory after victory each time a little closer to memphis
*Reposted from your newest video*: My grandmother worked in a battery factory in Poland in the 1950’s. First as a line worker and later as a lab assistant. She said that the lab would regularly acquire (probably in secret through special agents) batteries from Western countries – Britain, France, Australia, the US, and more – crack them open, and reverse engineer them to make their own. It was absolutely a thing.
Wow ..veo que los Russis son los copiones mas grande dek mundo y yo que creia que fueron los Japoneses
This plane and the jet engine given by the British were like pieces of extraterrestrial technology being studied by the Soviets propelling their civilization decades ahead.
Russian humor is not for everyone.
So, where your accent from 😂?
I sincerely love your work
What I've taken from this comment section is that everyone is an idiot and likes to make their political opinions very obvious and public.
Since comments aren’t allowed on Nebula, I have come here to express my absolute disgust for your latest upload there. The false and depraved equivalence narrative is tacit nazi apologia and holocaust denial.
I am no defender of modern Russia but your self-proclaimed “humorous” segment showing tiny, atrophied brains of Russians and their supporters is straight out of Der Stürmer.
You are a disgusting person churning out propaganda for the literal fourth reich. Shame on you.
not only your English is bad, but your lying about who actually sacrificed more human lives o win the war surpasses your linguistic ignorance
americans the most dumb people on earth , whole appolo mission was made by nazi scientists , they stole mig 15 , 21 , 25 ,29 hahahaha they stole and coied everything from germany , bloody dipshits , americans should do nothing and just give their white pussy women to the world
The commies are just our universes blood ravens.
"Hey, wheres my B-29?
You mean OUR B-29 comrade?"
I've said to my (Communist)friend before "If the Soviets never got their hands on German Data, Staff and equipment, they would finally say the produced an aircraft that beats the F-84 a decade after it's retirement"
Paper, have you seen Lazer Pigs T-34 episode?
On the B29 they copied, they faithfully reproduced a couple doublers (patches) that were there to repair damage.
I'm not going to say, that I knew the Americans had Wernher von Braun. But I knew.
Don't be sorry, the metric system makes so much more sense.
It is always the same; Russia is back warded, Russia cannot do it, Russia is behind, Russia bla, bla, bla , but at the end nobody has the courage to face it excepting the exceptional German army which was too much of a match for everybody else.
This is so poisonously anti-Russian.
USSR trying to not reverse engineer american vehicles challenge (impossible difficulty)
Are trying to say Russia stole the idea for a cylinder which was the base for all late phase heavy bombers. Don`t have to reverse engineer a cylinder dude. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣.
The moral of the story: Never ally with Russia.
I remember a joke…I don't know if it's true, anyway: When the Soviets disassembled the B-29 they found a circular hole somewhere in the aircraft structure. They couldn't figure out why this hole was there, what was it for? Someone ordered: well…if the Americans put it there, we will do it too! The hole was simply copied and line produced on every single Soviet TU-4. The hole turned to be just a small error only on that specific production batch of B-29s! 😂
