Oh? Which test flight demonstrated that?
I don't think it was ever confirmed. They only flew the thing once, which was confirmed. Anything else claiming superior tech I'd call USSR propaganda.
I'm not sure whether the orbital flight counts as test or operational, but that one. The prior test flights only had automated landings.
