  It will end up like every other Russian knock-off: made by the Chinese when Russia eventually gives up

    Nah, it goes WAY back to pre-WW2. Russia basically made copying everyone else’s technology a major economic driver for them for decades, and it was all based around trying to sucker poorer countries into buying their awful products.

    Cameras, radios, cars, weapons. Hell they even stole NASA Space Shuttle designs and tech to build their own, which just ended up in a junkyard.

      And the Buran system was more impressive than the shuttle, capable of completely automated flight!

        So they say but since it never even went into space it’s a bold claim.

    Of course everything’s made by China anyway including all the high-end stuff. The exception being computer chips.
