Скачать или смотреть The Night Soviet Radar Saw a Ghost — B-2 Stealth Bomber's Secret Cold War Test

November 1991. Forty-three days before the Soviet Union collapsed.

Deep inside a classified command center in the Ural Mountains, Colonel Victor Petrov watched five radar screens detect an impossible contact — an aircraft the size of a commercial airliner appearing as something smaller than a bird. Then, in a single heartbeat, it vanished.

What Petrov witnessed that night was the result of one of the greatest technological achievements in military history — and one of the Cold War's cruelest ironies. The mathematics that made American stealth aircraft possible came from a Soviet physicist's paper that Soviet censors deemed "safe to publish."

This is the declassified story of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, the ghost that broke Soviet air defense.
