Always amazes me how the Soviet shuttle is like the US one. Convergent evolution or espionage?

 

Great pics!

 

Lessons learnt from the STS design and improved (blatantly pinched blueprints). Little things such as the Buran was designed to a powered glider, so they didn't have to aim and hope for the best on the landing. It was also remote control, I 'believe' (needs clarifying) but the only time it flew it was fly-by-wire and empty.
