It flies today, carrying a 3rd more farther and faster.

No, it *was* flying last I knew, but then again it crashed, right?

The 1st prototype did.

Is
it again flying?

Yes, they took the next one built which was intended for static testing

OK, but if it is so great, why again are the Russians dumping this
program that they are a partner in? And how about those engine
