You had 6 shuttles and 2 of them have killed their crews. Since then 134 launches is countless? Now tell me how many Russian rockets were used to send the US people into space. How many of them have died? So just shut up, clown.

Russia has never had a single shuttle. The Soviet Union had 6 of them (not one, but also 6 as the USA). Soviet leaders were not that stupid to use them for manned flights so they used robots (the computer-based navigation) as usually... as they used them for the World first successful landings on the Moon (yes, the Soviet ship was the first one which has landed to the Moon, Wernher Von Braun was second) and Venus (only the Soviet ship was able to do that, Wernher Von Braun's technology has failed). Those shuttles were a part of the military Soviet space program, which was abandoned when the Cold War has ended - there was no need to spend loads of money for that useless shit and American Challenger and Columbia just proved that the decision to stop the program was right.
P.S. The Soviet Union has started working on space shuttle fighters for about 20 years before the USA, moron. This is
project "Spiral", for example (the project "BOR" is also described there - first flight in 1969):
