The KGB Was BAFFLED When The US "Let" Them Steal Secret Software... That Blew Up Their Pipeline

Описание: In the 1980s, the Soviet Union was running a massive industrial espionage network known as "Line X." They stole billions of dollars worth of Western technology to prop up their failing economy. The CIA knew it, but instead of arresting the spies, they decided to help them.

This documentary reveals the incredible true story of the "Farewell Project" and the CIA's most audacious Trojan Horse operation. We uncover how advisor Gus Weiss planted a "Logic Bomb" inside stolen pipeline control software, causing a 3-kiloton explosion in the Siberian wilderness—the largest non-nuclear blast ever seen from space. Discover how one man's betrayal and a floppy disk destroyed the KGB's trust in their own technology and accelerated the collapse of the USSR.
