To keep things in proportion we should also observe that it later came out that the Americans had cut a number of corners in the space race. Lives were sadly lost on both sides.
I'd rather engineer a good future for everyone than try to keep score of the past.
Those recorders do look quite good. The back view shows a 3-motor mechanism with a direct drive capstan, all with outer-rotor motors.
Now, there isn't a plant somewhere in Russia still making tape heads is there?
