Did they ever TRULY keep up? They threw everything they had into keeping up appearances and military. They were always way behind in civilian and peacetime matter, except for their obsession with the space-race and the Olympics. Honestly, who's gonna buy a car from Russia if they can help it?

Well, not the Aurora though. I've heard of there being pictures, but there seems to be a complete lack of agreement what the thing even looks like. Some say triangle, othes say it has folding wings similar to the B1 or F14, and there are many more theories. It is interesting that the article claims that the Aurora crossed the USSR at hypersonic (mach 6+ roughly) speeds without be detected by anything.

Its amusing that the former Soviet Union is so desperately interested in keeping up with any and all US military technology, yet after coming up with something brilliant like the Mig 1.4 (if the specs are even true) or even the SU-47, they lack the ability mass produce them. You feel bad for them, but what can you do?

Economics, maybe they are not able to be like the US..

But Russia is huge and is a world of its own.

Russia fell behind during the Cold War but really sealed its fate when it took up Communism.

Yes they will togheter with China because these nations have a very, very close cooperation between each other. The picture of we dont like Russia or former Soviet Union or the picture of we hate China is only a national, regional political front to win votes and the peoples trust. Who drives U.S astronauts to the spacestations today? Russia do. I dont think there is so big differances between these nations at all. My two cents.
