Kazakhstan has expressed a categorical refusal to transfer "Buran" to Russia

16

General Director of RKK Baikonur JSC Dauren Musa, who owns two samples of Soviet spacecraft-rocket gliders "Buran", criticized the intention of NPO Molniya to return the devices to Russia.

Let us remind you that today at the Baikonur cosmodrome there is a flight prototype and a mock-up of the Buran reusable spacecraft developed by the Molniya NPO. The unique device made its first and only unmanned flight in the fall of 1988. Two years later, work on the program was suspended, and in 1995 the project was completely closed.



The only one flying into space "Buran" was destroyed in 2002 as a result of the collapse of the roof of the assembly and testing complex, where it was stored at Baikonur. However, there are still two samples left at the cosmodrome (flight and model), which belong to a private person, Dauren Musa.

At the beginning of this year, the authorities of Kazakhstan tried to return the "Soviet heritage" to the museum. However, the Almaty court refused to satisfy the state's claim.

At the beginning of this month, representatives of the NGO Molniya announced their intention to transport the surviving flight prototype and model of "Buran" to Russia. The research and production association declares the deplorable state of both vehicles and the need to take measures to ensure the safety of the unique machines.

Dauren Musa wrote on his Facebook that he considers the visit of representatives of the NGO Molniya to be "an imitation of violent activity." He is sure that Russian ships are needed to continue work on the Energia-Buran program, and not to preserve the heritage.

At the same time, the businessman stressed that no one bought the ship from him and he was not going to return it. According to Musa, he does not rule out filing lawsuits in international courts in order to finally stop this "lawlessness".

On the eve of the loud statements of the owner of "Buranov" answered the head of "Roscosmos" Dmitry Rogozin. The functionary assured Dauren Musa that no one would export unique ships to the Russian Federation without the permission of the Kazakh authorities. At the same time, he advised the businessman to take a more responsible attitude towards the “priceless property” that fell into his hands, which is in a deplorable state, instead of writing nasty things about the Russian rocket and space industry.

Finally, Rogozin assigned all responsibility for the safety of the unique vehicles to Musa and expressed the hope that the judicial authorities would still decide to transfer the Burans into more caring hands.

    How did these "proud independent" republics get their hands on it? Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, etc. What are they without Russia? Take the same Kazakhstan as the most successful republic of all the countries of Central Asia. How much infrastructure and industry have the Kazakhs built without the help of the Russians? Before or after the USSR. All this dependent independence

      We spoiled them ourselves! I acted even more radically and said that if you don’t stop this kheraborin there, we reserve the right not to recognize your borders in the form that you got after the collapse of the USSR! Or I would send all Kazakhstanis who we have without the right to return to Russia for 1 year and tell everyone you know you will have nothing to eat because of this guy who behaves like that! And I assure you there either the authorities will change or they will give everything that we ask! He submits to the courts there

    in general, Rogozin is impatient to burden the Russian budget with the costs of preserving the old tin can in gold equivalent. There is nothing else to do how to collect scrap metal around the world and arrange in museums ???

        Effective Rogozin needs to send money to create spacecraft or, in extreme cases (if extra), increase pensions. Doctors will deal with memory if a school headed by an effective minister of "education" is not capable.

          Let the doctors deal with your memory. Buran is a monument to the achievements of the Soviet people, period. Why do you come up with the idea that Rogozin sent money there?
          Take off your hat, sell the horse and give everything to pregnant pensioners once so caring.
          If it comes to that, to announce a fundraising for the redemption of the ship, I am sure that people will collect 150% and the same pensioners will bear their hard-earned money, not everyone does not care about history like you.

              Who do we have? What money? Did you find the Roscosmos office here? They made a mistake, they have a website, if there is anything, you can send your claims there.

                  What are you discussing? Who, where, what government money did he give? You just whine about pregnant pensioners. If you would take off your scent and get off the donkey, you would rather have trousers with a forelock to your face.

                    Stop clucking))) Nobody sells or buys anything. Organize yourself if you wish and buy at your own expense. Organize a comfortable life for the shepherd. Too much patriotism ...

    That this article is completely opposite to the recent one.

    There - he will return, as an already decided case
    Here - that this is not the property of Rogozin and the Russian Federation at all, and "no one will export unique ships to the Russian Federation without the permission of the Kazakh authorities."

    There are freebies, but no sense.

    if the shepherds to whom Russia created the state do not respect and do not agree to return its high-tech products to the Russian Federation, then the shepherds must be dealt with harshly, for a start, you can block the transit of Kazakh oil through the Ross pipelines and ports, introduce visas, close the Ross market, etc.

      Yes, they, these Kazakhs, or whatever they call these sheep breeders, and do not know what it is. So they are afraid to give. They'll give it back, but what if it was useful for the sheep? Let it lie. For sheep.

    At the beginning of this month, representatives of the NGO Molniya announced their intention to transport the surviving flight prototype and model of "Buran" to Russia.

    Was there such a statement? They seem to be on the contrary - they said that Molniya had no plans to transport objects to Russia.

    What about the Kazakhs Buran? The stars are not for them! Let the Kazakh-Dili learn, cut off the ends, drink kumis in yurts and graze the rams!
