Putin destroyed the Antonov world's largest plane...

The Tupolev 4 was definitely an attempt at an exact copy, as were others. They even got the reinforced plate from damage that particular captured B-29 had taken previously. When Stalin asked you gave him what was asked for, literally.LebamDawg said:Sometimes the ruler dictates to copy the original exactly as stolen as was the case for the TU-4 copying the B-29.
great job of reverse engineering but to include external repair patches was kind of funny.
When having the time to design and build, yes engineering and physics work the same on each side of Earth. But when Stalin threatens Gulag, you ignore science.
Like here in the States and Covid
As for physics reaching the same conclusion if given time, we see that in the successors to the Tu-4 and B-29. The Tu-95 and B-52 are independently developed, both are serving in their 60s, and minus the prop/jet difference are similar. A shame to see Boeing go from designing a plane, in under five years, that will serve for 100 years versus now not being able to make an airliner that works.

and the part that does not work?
Software - one of the things pilots liked about Boeing planes over Airbus was the lack of software flight operations. Boeing buckled under and can't make it right. They rushed the 737MAX into service.
The Feds put the blame on the use of DERs - thinking it is a conflict of interest. The DERs I knew were the most stubborn SOBs I ever dealt with - they kept the short cut takers in line for the most part. Don't look at the 747 crashing into Mt Fuji, that is the exception
