...office. Two events in Reagan's first year helped to fix his thoughts on Gaddafi as a symbol of virtually everything he hates. One was a Libyan attack on U.S. jets in the Gulf of Sidra that resulted in the shooting down of two of Gaddafi's Soviet-built Su-22 fighter planes. Later in 1981 U.S. intelligence picked up information that Libya was sending hit squads to the U.S. to assassinate Reagan and some of his close aides. No such attacks occurred, but the scare contributed to Reagan's revulsion toward the Libyan dictator, which has been fueled since...
...illustrated 156-page SMP, first brought out in 1981, offers a few scoops: blurred but unique photographs of the Soviet SS-20 intermediate-range missile that threatens Western Europe, Japan and China; and photos of one of the three new Delta IV-class nuclear-powered submarines and of the Su-27 Flanker, an air-defense fighter deployed only this year. But overall, reviews of the book were lukewarm. While many U.S. military experts outside the Pentagon think SMP has improved in accuracy and candor with each new edition, they still regard it as less than totally objective...

...Soviet weapons are reasonable facsimiles if not exact duplicates of American ones. The Soviet AWACS and space shuttles are carbon copies of earlier U.S. models. The Boeing short takeoff and landing (STOL) prototype, a breakthrough aerodynamic design, miraculously appeared just 16 months later as the Soviet AN-72. The SU-15 fighter that shot down the Korean Air Line's Flight 007 two years ago did so with a missile guidance system designed in the U.S. The Soviets do not even attempt to create their own computers anymore: the Kremlin's mainframe RIAD computer...
...could find. The GRU was not interested in warheads as such, but in elements of the guidance system that experts in Moscow were able to use to improve their equivalent missiles. Take the Soviet Strela-2 antiaircraft missile -- it's an exact copy of the American Redeye. Take the SU-15 supersonic fighter, which destroyed the South Korean aircraft (Flight 007). The technology in the SU-15 was stolen abroad...
