By this thought process, could it maybe be that the Soviets were waiting for the Americans to reveal they knew something first? I imagine the secrecy would make the threat of their use seem more likely, and thus a stronger deterrent once eventually uncovered by their enemies. It added to the "crazy enough to do it" factor even into today. On top of that, a huge smoking gun like that could even serve as bait for enemy spies to potentially reveal themselves. I really do find it hard to believe that no other country caught a whiff of any of this, save for the 1979 anthrax outbreak.if the Soviets could hide it so easily surely the Americans must be, too.
