How close were Soviet Vs NATO Military Technological Capabilities? Where were the Soviets behind, ahead or equal to NATO?

by Doncuneo

Is it a "myth" to think NATO was generally more advanced?

The best I can think of is Submarine Development, Surface to Air Missile systems and Anti-Ship missiles to combat NATO strength in the Air and Sea Surface.

To tack on to this, was Soviet armour or NATO armour stronger, and how did their doctrines vary?
