Those crazy Russians!

sadly the Volga Coupe is a bit of a fake.. its based on a BMW 850 coupe, or later ones on the 6 series and is a chop shop style proect rather than a production car. Nice though!

Great sight for viewing the wacky ways of the Russians!

The VVA-14 is very cool. makes me think of Space 1999.

I have spewed after getting off one of the devices depicted in this thread. Guess which one.

Didn’t work.
Trained on T34s so when taken to a battlefield and presented with a choice of Panther/Tiger/Kugelwagon/T34 they went straight for the T34.

Oh sorry, I thought I looked like Orville. Smart guy.

Really daft question but that shuttle in the first image appears to be identical to the current US Space Shuttles – have I missed something or was the design ripped off and used by Russia? Or has there been some arrangement made and the US has sold/given Russia a shuttle?

Some real cool looking stuff in this thread…thanks for posting the pics!

That was Buran, which was a wholly Soviet design. It only flew once, in 1988 when it completed an unmanned launch and landed safely under automation.

There are a few differences, notably that Buran is considerably smaller than the shuttle and lacks the manoeuvring engines at the rear. The similarities to the shuttle are largely coincidental, given that like the shuttle, Buran was designed to glide to a suitable runway after re-entry.

Hmmm.

They do look remarkably similar –

Concordski wearing a hat…

Edit – not quite the russians this time –

the lume on that watch looks lethal !!!

sorry I thought you had a sense of humour

re similaritoes they will be as you attach a glider to a huge rocket not that much scope for innovation of design really. Bit like arguing all subs look similiar.

Forget that crazy Soviet engineering and take a look at the crazy Soviet music. 😯

‘sup Junky, can’t take a joke? 😆

You really are a bitter little man Woppit. Junkyard responded to your completely pointless post with a harmless but fairly amusing comment. Instead of leaving it, you keep returning with more snidey and sneering comments. You appear to be determined to make an issue out of nothing. Any chance of growing up in 2011 ?

Meanwhile………I’m surprised no one has mentioned the MIR Space Station

Floating nuclear power station 😆

Not Soviet but still barking!
