I haven't read any confirmation of this from anywhere else, so regard
it appropriately ...

The wildest story I have seen on this, is a story the LA Times ran a
few months ago. If I remember correctly, the story was plucked from a
wire service, so it may have appeared elsewhere. The gist of the story
was that the KGB admitted in a Soviet newspaper that it had not been
totally successful at preventing unauthorized transfer of Soviet
military technology. Apparently, some Eastern European countries had
sold some of MiG-29s and T-72s to unauthorized parties. The article
went on the imply one of the foreign recipients was the US acting
through dummy corporations.
