See, this is why you need to get your history from fact rather than fiction. There wasn't espionage involved in the Soviet Union's developing nukes. They had their own process which differed from the US. And- They detonated a deliverable nuclear weapon before the US.
Okay- going to say this one last time, since it doesn't seem that you're likely to even actually pay attention.
Stark did not create a new metal. He used an existing alloy that he even broke down in IM1. It wasn't something that was impossible for Shield to get access to. And- if you need to go further- As we saw in Cap 1, vibranium exists. The very fact that Iron Patriot is under government command says that Shield could get access to the suit and study it.
And forget about armor. My point wasn't even about Fury necessarily using armor. My point was he realistically would've had better defenses in place than what was presented in the film. And Yes- Hydra should have found ways around them, in as much as the story was supposed to set up Cap being essentially alone against Hydra, but for the Widow and Falcon. Fine, just make for a better set-up is my point, not one so easy to see through as a contrivance only to get Cap at a disadvantage.
BS as usual why don't you argue with the wikipedia page?

A couple things:
1st US nuclear weapon:
On July 16, 1945, in the desert north of
Alamogordo,
New Mexico, the first
nuclear test took place, code-named "
Trinity", using a device nicknamed "
the gadget." The test, a plutonium implosion type device, released energy equivalent to 19
kilotons of TNT, far more powerful than any weapon ever used before.
1st Soviet: (4 years later)
On August 29, 1949, the effort brought its results, when the USSR tested its first fission bomb, dubbed "
Joe-1" by the U.S., years ahead of American predictions.
And the Soviet spies:
The Soviet Union was not invited to share in the new weapons developed by the United States and the other Allies. During the war, information had been pouring in from a number of volunteer spies involved with the Manhattan Project (known in Soviet cables under the code-name of
Enormoz), and the Soviet nuclear physicist
Igor Kurchatov was carefully watching the Allied weapons development. It came as no surprise to Stalin when Truman had informed him at the Potsdam conference that he had a "powerful new weapon." Truman was shocked at Stalin's lack of interest.
The Soviet spies in the U.S. project were all volunteers and none were Russians. One of the most valuable,
Klaus Fuchs, was a German émigré theoretical physicist who had been part of the early British nuclear efforts and the UK mission to Los Alamos. Fuchs had been intimately involved in the development of the implosion weapon, and passed on detailed cross-sections of the Trinity device to his Soviet contacts. Other Los Alamos spiesnone of whom knew each otherincluded
Theodore Hall and
David Greenglass. The information was kept but not acted upon, as Russia was still too busy fighting the war in Europe to devote resources to this new project.
Game, set match. Not that I really expect you acknowledge reality.
