“It is important to create conditions for cooperation, which can help develop a unique product,” Russia's digital ministry said in response to 11 developers being delisted from maintaining the Linux kernel.
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.
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.
It’s just like their foxbat claims…turned out it was a flying brick.
Edit: apparently I pissed off some tankies lol
It’s well known that the foxbat was heavily exaggerated in its capabilities. It’s how we ended up with the f15 and it’s insane capabilities. Just like now russia fighting in Ukraine, paper tiger.
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? 🤣
It will end up like every other Russian knock-off: made by the Chinese when Russia eventually gives up

And the Buran system was more impressive than the shuttle, capable of completely automated flight!
Oh? Which test flight demonstrated that?

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.

I’m reading that it orbited at an altitude of up to 263 km, well above the Karman line. Is that not space?
Well that’s debatable but really the point is it never did a re-entry so we really don’t know how reusable it would have been.
If it didn’t do a reentry, how did it get down from that altitude?
By landing?
Reentry doesn’t mean flying downwards it means actually coming in at a high enough speed to generate heating. Otherwise it’s just falling.
Of course everything’s made by China anyway including all the high-end stuff. The exception being computer chips.
