Here's what's left of 'Buran' - the Soviet Space Shuttle, which looks totally different to the US Space Shuttle, just a the Tu-144 'Concordski' looks nothing like Concorde.
Complete coincidences.

Well the hangar roof fell on it, due to just leaving it and not maintaining it.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostThat'll never fly.
It only flew once, remotely-by-wire, which is something the US orbiter couldn't do.Comment

The third picture down is not Soviet. It is in Bulgaria. (BBC got it wrong)

Some other pictures are not "Soviet" and are heavily doctored."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Here's some amazing photography by me of a Soviet relic, it's the MIG-15 (or 21) outside Chelyabinsk Airport, I knew it was there from a previous trip and I was determined to snap a pic, I mean compose a materpiece from the car window as we passed.
Note the way I skillfully captured old (the MIG), and new (the red car) and emphasised the MIG's sleek lines by almost completely losing it behind an advertising hoarding pillar.
Amazing talent.
