The media is silent because it is bullshit. They don't report stupid Soviet lies. I am a machinist. Do you know how easy it is to fake serial number stampings? One guy with a hammer and number set.

Are Russians that stupid? They think a serial number is some kind of authenticator? Heck from the pictures I saw it was spray painted on.

Please don't insult our intelligence.

And you, as a machinist, know it as a matter of fact that this particular serial number on that particular engine block was fabricated? What are your proofs of the claim? Could you name a single media outlet or a single investigative journalist who is collecting evidence of that potential fabrication at the moment?
