I'm thinking the Soviets had more pressing issues than Buran by the time it was
cancelled.

Gee, how is it that nobody can still build something
with such features
and requirements yet, hmmm?

Well. Everybody else realized that a "Space Shuttle" type of space
vehicle is overcomplicated, overengineered, way to complex and thus way
to expensive to build and maintain. So everybody else has given up on
"Space Shuttels" even before building one. Except the "Amis" because
they needed to show how brigt they are. And of course the Sowjets -
prurely for political reasons. (The Amis have one. So wee need one too.
And Buran was (still)born.)
