On October 22, 1967, a Mercedes-Benz arrives outside the Neuburg Air Base in West Germany. In the car was Manfred Ramminger, a German architect who was basically a Russian spy, with two more people. In the evening, Ramminger took advantage of thick fog, as well as absent-minded security guards, and sneaked into the Neuburg Air Base. From the base's weapons depot, he quickly loaded an operational Aim-9 Sidewinder missile onto a wheelbarrow and pushed it down the entire runway to his Mercedes-Benz. He then reached his home, where disassembled the Aim-9. He then mailed the disassembled missile to Moscow, and the post charged him only $79. The Soviets reverse-engineered it, and within 7 years, the Soviet Union introduced the R-13M missile.
