The russians did get the original wing design...

But still the Tu-144 is a very different creature.
Little more capacity, and faster.
The Tu-144LL was the fastest variant, but that one flew for NASA only

Russian plane flew for NASA? That must have been interesting...

Tu-144D has a max speed of M2.4
Tu-144LL does M2.6, thanks to the bigger and improved engines (from the Tu-160)

The TU144 flew before the Concorde. i don't know which one was designed first.

Concordes design was copied badly. The wings of the russian model were all wrong

yeah, they copied the vickers vc-10, too

So what? If the western intelligence services are too dumb to guard their stuff, it's obvious that their designs may pop up somewhere else under a different name.
