Hmm, well, a decade plus incubation period for superpowers kinda shifts the technology (in its current form) out of practical weapons technology. Any war would be long over by the time your super soldiers were ready to fight. My first thought is it would be the sort of thing a country would try to deploy to its general citizenry to have a large pool of recruits in case of future war.

In the case of espionage, there's a lot of flexibility because it was (at the time) a failed program that didn't do anything anyone would flip out over. Any major espionage player could have scooped it up unintentionally after a successful breech, then sold it to a lesser power.
