Two words: Electronic Countermeasures (ECM), with maybe a bit of

For some reason I’m now reminded of a ww2 movie line where the Russians were invading Germany and for some weird reason the Russians were amazed at the “modern� flush toilet and some thought it was an automatic potato washer.

Though thought as a modern army they might have a ways to go...

Don't forget how we have been getting to the ISS since the end of the
GW administration. They are not all that backward. Even in WWII they
had one of the best tanks in the war.
I do understand they got their rocket technology from the Germans but
so did we. They were also very good at stealing technology from us ...
and they still are.
