Well, you are mistrustful guy :)
Do you trust NASA? The Russian Shuttle Buran
And here is much info about Buran with photogallery and videogallery.

Very good. I'll take that source.

I'm still doubtful that Buran "was better" than the shuttle when it's only orbital flight was unmanned and was restricted to 2 orbits only due to "computer memory limitations".

But I will give credit to your country's space agency for recognizing they could get the same thing done cheaper using disposable launch vehicles.

We are only now realizing that 24 years later.

Russian women are smart and beautiful. Just thought I'd let you know :-)
