Default BURAN - Foam shedding or not?

Not sure if these would be all reentry related. Note the vertical tail
edge and you have to ask yourself was this a stunt double in
Armegeddon? Seriously, what would cause that type of damage?. I'm
reminded of when we transported one of the shuttles and the tiles were
shredded and ripped off. I wonder if this is the result of rain, but I
guess the question then arises, during reentry or transport, would the
Russkies have done a reentry through rain? (great site) ............Doc
