Take a look at how many launches are from the USAF space command
Talking about lanches I can say that Russian Plesetsk Cosmodrome is the busiest in the world. Over 1250 launches have taken place since 1966. This total is greater than the combined totals from all other nations.

And answer this, hoiw many times did you COPY of our space shuttle fly? :)
You mean Buran? It's not a full copy of american shuttle, it's better but too expensive. The main purpose was "to maintain strategic parity with the West".

All I see is a copy of what looks like an American Shuttle. How can you claim it's "better" if it was never even launched?

If you define 'better' as smaller and heated up to 700 degrees in the interior during re-entry, then I will concede Buran was 'better'.
