Russia is seizing hundreds of commercial jets owned by US and European leasing companies, a further sign of the challenges the country's airline industry faces due to sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine.
If they hadn’t been saddled with a monster like Stalin. Also, if they’d followed their own path. Rather than trying to force a moon landing, when they lacked the computers to coordinate many small rockets, as SpaceX can do today. Or dropping all their plans to copy the Space Shuttle with Buran, which they didn’t even use anyway. The USSR was always too occupied with image over substance and you can see a direct line of that in Putin today.
More ignorant drivel. Your comment regarding Buran is a perfect allegory for your superficital level of understanding of the subject. Your knowledge is skin deep. https://www.buran.su/buranvssts-comparison.php
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.
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.

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.

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.
Russia’s what is frozen?
