There’s a reason why the buran looks like it does. it was reverse engineered from our plans. the soviets were famous for it. Look up the Tupolev TU-4
, aka the B-29ski. Reverse engineered from superfortresseses that emergency landed in the USSR during 1945.

Yep, they copy a lot of our stuff, for sure, but they also have a ton of stuff they made on their own.

Another somewhat close copy: Ilyushin Il-38 for our P3 Orion
