    From Wikipedea: “Buran completed one uncrewed spaceflight in 1988, and was destroyed in the 2002 collapse of its storage hangar.”

    Reminds me of the fate of the Admiral Kuznetsov. A pattern of neglect.

      The program was abandoned because Russia went through hell in the 90s that was engineered by the west. Hateful westerners like you are precisely what gave rise to Putin. Now you get to reap what you sowed. Enjoy.

        Well, maybe for once, Russia could not fall for it? Nope, tricked by NATO into humiliation against Ukraine.

          I really can’t wait to see what you’ll have to say in a few months.

            War is an economic activity and Russia’s war chest is frozen. You won’t have to wait that long.

                Putin was counting on Russia’s foreign currency reserves to bankroll the invasion. But surprise, the Canadian Deputy Minister of Finance had been waiting all her life to pull this trigger. Surprise, fuckers.

                  You realize Russia doesn’t rely on foreign currency reserves to fund anything right? Freeland pulled the trigger with the gun pointing at herself. The only fuckers who are surprised so far are western bankers who weren’t consulted about this idiocy and the western public whose basic necessities are becoming unaffordable.

                  The only reason you talk shit here is because you’re not personally affected yet, and you don’t understand what’s coming. We’ll see what tune you’re singing once the recession hits full force.

                    You apparently don’t realize that Putin admitted those funds were intended to bank roll the invasion through the sanctions. He was clearly surprised at the masterstroke the Canadian Deputy Minister of Finance has been waiting decades to unleash. “Oh no! We’re holding all this cash now! Whatever will we do!” Probably force Russia to use them as restitution in Ukraine, now.
