  Oh? Which test flight demonstrated that?

    I don’t think it was ever confirmed. They only flew the thing once, which was confirmed. Anything else claiming superior tech I’d call USSR propaganda.

    I’m not sure whether the orbital flight counts as test or operational, but that one. The prior test flights only had automated landings.

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

    It’s just like their foxbat claims…turned out it was a flying brick.

    I’m reading that it orbited at an altitude of up to 263 km, well above the Karman line. Is that not space?

      Well that’s debatable but really the point is it never did a re-entry so we really don’t know how reusable it would have been.

        If it didn’t do a reentry, how did it get down from that altitude?
