Russians also had a lot of quality tanks. Before Hitler turned on the Russians there were very high level military contacts and information sharing. The Russians were convinced the Germans were hiding their best designs, because the Russians already better models in production.
Germans held the edge in optics and wireless, but in many facets the Russians held the edge through the war (mobility, protection, durability).

Back to the topic. The USMIC has ripped off Americans for decades. I don’t expect a change anytime soon.

Sounds like Soviet propaganda right there, pal.

Just kidding. You're right. The T-34 in particular was a good tank. One problem the Germans had was that they fiddled around with many different designs with complicated mechanics, instead of picking one and mass-producing it. A mass-produced simplified Panther would have been a game-changer (or should I say, a game-delayer).
