Funniest/saddest moment from that miniseries was when their officials have the West the propaganda numbers to build the robot. Fucking lol…
I don’t know it for sure, but I understood that the Germans built a robot capable of withstanding the propaganda number not explicitly for the Russians. It just happens to withstand those, but not the real numbers…
“West Germany, though, so you can imagine how that conversation went.”
