>even though we started a war with Germany on the platform of saving Poland from invasion, and you invaded Poland yourself and started genociding the populace anyway, after you genocided Ukrainians, we're going to give you this state-of-the-art fighter jet engine which we put in our fighter jets like the Meteor and Vampire. You can only put it in civil jets, don't put it in a fighter jet, you can't do that. No, you don't have to pay, just take it, it's free

It's downright harrowing just how much the Soviets infiltrated and subverted the West during the entirety of their existence, and how Russia and the Chinese still do it (and much more effectively) now as a continuation of the Cold War. The West hasn't had anything like this. Color revolutions are the biggest confession-accusation the Soviets made against the West, and even then they weren't one tenth as extensive or harmful.
They stab the West in its soft underbelly -the retarded voter - in a way Western intelligence agencies can't even imagine, and the West continues to pretend they were never involved. Ireland is the best example.
How is the West even supposed to fight back?

Antisemitism at your retarded scale is just another one of their psyops. It especially picked up after Israel defeated the Soviets and their Arab allies in 1967, but it was always a helpful tool for them to divide and conquer and redirect the public's attention away from their own hybrid warfare efforts. Racist concern trolling to rally their enemies behind Russian-controlled populist parties, antisemitic demoralization and well poisoning, and playing both sides of the LGBTQ+ "debate" remain some of Russia's primary weapons against the free world.

FDR may as well have been an outright card-carrying member of the American Communist party, the way his fucking admin was ran. At this point I genuinely believe every fucking election after 1932 was entirely fucked by COMINTERN stuffing ballot boxes and murdering anyone who might testify at an inquiry, and its been the most effective coverup operation in history.
Don't fucking get me started on British Banking between the rise of the soviet party and the end of the Spanish Civil War, or on the first red scare (totally warranted, terrorism in the US by communists was unfuckingbelievably common)

It was a story from 1-3 years ago, basically some large hardcore industrial shit from the 1930s or 1940s, probably sent via lend-lease, was still very actively used in russia and had to be sent into US for being serviced, despite the sanctions and all that. I don't remember the specific type of machine and it's almost impossible to find details since Google went to shit these days.

>Jannies sperg out on threads about European armaments and the defence community
>This fucking thread is okay though

Cripps sold the engine in 1946 assuming both that relations wouldn't take the dive they did and that the Soviets would eventually develop jet engines anyway, you can't maintain indefinite technology export controls. He was then a wreck when the Korean War broke out. The Nene engine wasn't treated as a massive secret post-war which is ironic as the Soviets copied it down to the letter rather than reverse engineer it and then improving on the science and engineering with their own innovations.

>>
>>64265084
Not sure if he covered it, I've seen it posted online in relatively mainstream media
>>
>>64265080
To add to this, the Nene wasn't a cutting edge engine for the Brits at the time - it was a centrifugal type. The axial Avon was seen as the cutting edge military engine.

Because it wasn't seen as a good military engine they thought it'd be fine to sell to folks as an engine for airliners, particularly as Britain was broke as fuck from paying the US to save the free world.

What they weren't expecting was:
1. The Soviets being so shit at engine development that the Nene constituted a huge leap for them militarily
2. The Soviets being dishonest fucks who would copy it down to the millimeter and then produce it themselves rather than pay for more British built Nenes or even a license.

So it turned out to be a terrible idea, but you have to remember they were melting down their battleships and kept rationing into the 50s. They were a level of broke which the US finds it difficult to comprehend - in some ways more toxic longer term than the actual collapse suffered in much of continental Europe because at least they go to refresh their industry with foreign investment. The UK tried to carry on with old infrastructure and inefficient processes which is why their industry has faltered since.

>>64265078
Its actually not that rare to have really ancient machines running in factories for decades.
Soviet factories were full of German machinery they dismantled after the war and you can still find plenty of turn of the century lathes and such running in all sorts of smaller manufacturing floors.

While searching I also came across an even bigger one from the 1950s that's apparently still in active use in the USA
https://planehistoria.com/the-air-forces-50000-ton-press/
I would assume that these sorts of machines are fairly mature technology, or at least that replacing them won't offer enough improvement to justify the (no doubt very high) cost of doing so
>>
>>64265131
Most likely it was some media talking about this story, yeah
>>
>>64262769
I dont think you understand how utterly broke and desperate the UK was post war
There are a baiilion other very questionable sales they made post ww2 just for cash.
They also tought the soviets were too retarded to figure out the metalurgy behind making the engine, which was the true secret. The soviets were infact not retarded

>Attlee approved the request for the sale jet engines, with the proviso that the engines not be used for military purposes after…
>1. Lobbying by the Board of Trade, which argued the economic benefits of the sale.
>2. Soviet trade negotiators were threatening to derail the sale of timber and grain to the UK, desperately needed for the massive post-war house building programme.
>3. The Rolls-Royce Nene was being sold to countries such as France with strong local communist movements, Moscow would be able to gain the technical information it desired sooner or later anyhow!

>Not until 1949 do they get it working, and 1950 the VK-1 turbojet engine that powered the MiG-15bis enters production.


That said, the Soviet Union had all ready copied the Rolls-Royce Nene engine from public-domain information and in the long run, the major contribution of the exported engines may have been to improve Soviet high-temperature metallurgy.

American banks bankrupted the empire after the war, all of the British tech was given to the USA as promises for help during the war.
Loans were called, and the empire was pruned to pay the debt.
The USA killed the British empire so it could gain dominance. You caused it, the brits didn't "give it up willingly", they just made sure their empire was doing well before it inevitably collapsed under American and USSR subterfuge it couldn't afford to fight

The US maintained the Cash and Carry policy for long enough to financially destroy England. The Lend-Lease only after that. It was all well planned after the US fucked up its post-WWI economy and Europe recovered too fast.
