JG>Any info on weather they actually understand how to get the data off the
JG>boxes?


We're talking about the `Russians'. They are just as smart as we are. Smarter
in some areas. It was a Russian scientist who developed the hydrogen bomb;
Andrei Sakharov. Some of their missile technology was years ahead of ours.


They put the first human in orbit; Yuri Gagarin?


They `know' more than people think they do. Their KGB (whatever it morphed
into in this day and age) is probably far ahead of anything we've got as
well.


JG>Did the USA give them the needed info/tools/etc. to retrieve the
JG>info and decipher it?  I mean, these are USA boxes, made by Americans...


The Russians are a lot smarter than you give them credit for. You think
they don't have people of their own in the aircraft industry?


JG>Unless they're familiar with our boxes, whose to say they know how to
JG>extract the data from the boxes and how to understand what that data
JG>means?


There's probably not much of anything we ever developed that the Russians
didn't get hold of, disassemble, study, and develope their own `version'
of within six months or less. They are very smart. In fact, we obtained
many of their scientists during the Cold War (defectors), many of whom
were just as brainy, if not more so, than our own.


JG>They're made so only those in the aircraft recovery business
JG>knows how to use them to begin with, seems turning them over to a
JG>foreign country to allow them to decipher it without giving them the
JG>information on how to use them is kinda stupid...


There's probably not anything we manufacture that the Russians don't
get hold of, study, and know all about a lot in less time than it takes
for us to develope the next generation of.
