It’s a pretty awesome story, that’s why.
The CIA asked a Soviet colonel seeking to defect in 1990 to steal a 14 foot long surface-to-air antiaircraft missile from East Germany. To the CIA’s surprise, the colonel tricked his entire battalion, got the missile & escaped by driving through the base’s perimeter fence. pic.twitter.com/lRcE3SYrJD
