Those are the Buran projects. Very sad indeed. But when they cut the money people just walk off work and everything goes to waste since there is no owner anymore.

That's amazing

The Buran shuttle design was stolen by the KGB from ours. I give them credit for cloning so well. But the Russians have invented fantastic flying machines of all types on their own....but not this one they stole.

Still fascinating, just the scope of the whole project, and then to just let it sit......very cool "barn find" LOL.

Comments section is an interesting snapshot of peoples angst.

That's a good observation too Henry.

Are you sure Clinton didn't give it to them? He gave the Chinese our missile technology. Before the Chinese couldn't get anything other than a bottle rocket above the tree tops.
Look at them now. When they take Taiwan we aren't going to do shit to stop them. If we do they'll do very serious damage to our military. But back then we all know Clinton detested the military.

Todd shipyard LONG BEACH Ca. was the only navel shipyard to show a profit , That ass wipe closed it to become a Costco port of entry of goods, China was about to buy the property but Billy jacked the price up, China said FU to the deal, Cosavo then had a bomb miss it's target and blasted a Chinese Embassy killing it's staff. Accident? Hell no.

Ray- Clinton probably helped them get many of the blueprints,.but I just recall it was mostly the KGB that stole it.
