    It will work just like every other Russian knock-off thing that gets made. Very shittily, and then end up in the bin.

    Aren’t they still also trying to make their own Steam? 🤣

        Nah, it goes WAY back to pre-WW2. Russia basically made copying everyone else’s technology a major economic driver for them for decades, and it was all based around trying to sucker poorer countries into buying their awful products.

        Cameras, radios, cars, weapons. Hell they even stole NASA Space Shuttle designs and tech to build their own, which just ended up in a junkyard.

          And the Buran system was more impressive than the shuttle, capable of completely automated flight!

              I don’t think it was ever confirmed. They only flew the thing once, which was confirmed. Anything else claiming superior tech I’d call USSR propaganda.

              I’m not sure whether the orbital flight counts as test or operational, but that one. The prior test flights only had automated landings.

            So they say but since it never even went into space it’s a bold claim.

        Of course everything’s made by China anyway including all the high-end stuff. The exception being computer chips.
