The Soviets never said anything though. They were like, hey here's our new jet and the Americans assumed it was supposed to be maneuverable because of the way it looked when in reality it was always meant to just go really fast, which it did do.

My comment wasn’t just limited to the foxbat incident. I grew up in a VERY Russian immigrant area and every single one of the 1st gen kids ate up Russian Propaganda and spit it back out. Things like how the Su line of jets was superior, or how their ships were incredibly capable, to the “hypersonic” missiles they claimed would defeat anything the US had and wouldn’t be able to knock them out of the sky with anti-missile systems. Russia as a country has a MASSIVE problem with overstating their capability, power and projection. Outside of the USSR we should never consider them on the same footing as the USA.
