Apparently they have just performed an unmanned test flight and they recovered their craft insight of some long range Australian recon jets. The recovery was in the ocean??, which I don't understand. Their shuttle is smaller than ours which is suppose to allow it to land and almost any large airport, a definite advantage in time of war. That is about all I know about it.
