Here you go:-

But if you're stuck, it may not help you; there's a bug in TFTD that
(randomly and occasionally) makes the game impossible to complete, by
denying you certain technologies.

If you haven't got Mag Ion armour you aren't going to win, basically.
Several utilities out there (XComutil, Clark Wehyr's site) will patch this,
however, i.e. you can award yourself any technology you want, and this
re-enables a winning path.
