It's all in Russian so good luck understanding, but the pictures are amazing. The place looks like a ghost town, albeit a really cool one.

It looks like a prototype to the buran launch vehicle

It's called Energia.
Energia (Russian: ???????, Energiya, "Energy") was a Soviet rocket that was designed by NPO Energia to serve as a heavy-lift expendable launch system as well as a booster for the Buran spacecraft. Control system main developer enterprise was the NPO "Electropribor".[2][3] The Energia used four strap-on boosters each powered by a four-chamber RD-170 engine burning kerosene/LOX, and a central core stage with 4 one-chamber RD-0120 (11D122) engines fueled by liquid hydrogen/LOX.[4]
The launch system had two functionally different operational variants: Energia-Polyus, the initial test configuration, in which the Polyus system was used as a final stage to put the payload into orbit, and Energia-Buran,[5] in which the Buran spacecraft was the payload and the source of the orbit insertion impulse.
The rocket had the capacity to place about 100 tonnes in Low Earth orbit, up to 20 tonnes to geostationary orbit and up to 32 tonnes to a translunar trajectory.[1]

And the Russians still carry on their greatest tradition - stealing/copying our shite.

I translated it. It basically says you talk like a fig and your shite's all fricked up.

It got better gas mileage at Mach 4 than it did going 500 mph.

Lol, it's been a while.

At Mach 4 it was probably refueling the tank.

Tom Clancy wrote a non fiction book about how bad the Russians are. It's hilarious. Ball bearings that look like eggs...

This was their attempt at a Space Shuttle. Been posted before.

You get better gas mileage the faster you go because you get there faster.

Eerie in a way... like that damn carousel in Chernobyl.

That space shuttle look-a-like vehicle still sits in Gorky Park in Moscow as a tourist attraction.
