Whether Russia can compete with the U.S. through its own spacecraft?

"Space Troops Commander of the Russian Federation Oleg Ostapenko hinted last week that Russia could develop a spaceship, a similar drone secret U.S. Air Force X-37B, which have been successfully tested in the past year," - says The Christian Science Monitor.

As reported by RIA Novosti, in his words, in this direction something has been done, but whether Russia can take advantage of this, only time will tell.

Andrei Ionin, an independent expert on space technology, says Ostapenko allusion to the Russian version of the X-37B is difficult to interpret, the author writes Fred Weir.

"The logic for Space Research suggests that Russia and the United States at the same time doing the same thing - he says. - They are building a space shuttle - and we are building a space shuttle, and so on. But such comments are made Ostapenko, should follow the show and the relevant official application. With the current state of affairs, who knows what he meant. Maybe it's just PR? "
