Not that the Soviets haven't had a history of copying us, but how much of the resemblance is also from similar requirements resulting in similar designs?

If you poke into it, the Buran and Shuttle are very different in detail, even if they're visually similar.

I think it's called "wind tunnel design" ... the wind always blows. :)

I always thought they aped our designs just to fuck with a VID.

Well, whatever. Hugo's still smoking crack, the Russkies are still bastards, God's in His heaven and the Republic will endure. If Mr Chavez wants to try us on, we've got lots war-stock in need of shooting and a shortage of drones.
