Buran.*

* Means "Snowstorm" in Russian.

Did you know anything about it? Soviet Space Shuttle in 1988. Bigger and more advanced than American counterpart. With flybywire system.

Unfortunatelly Buran shuttle program had to be finished after Soviet Union's collapsing because of lack of funds.

Check it in the videos below.








In the last video you may see also another miracle of Soviet technology AN 225 carrying Buran. AN 225 still holds the record as World's biggest and heaviest plane.
