      Well, do not forget the military satellite

      The plans put Russia into orbit - quite a large number of military satellites for various purposes. All information is of course classified. But they say that by the year 20 there will be at least 20 military satellites in orbit - on which weapons will be installed. Lasers or some other beam, wave fluffs - of course the State. secret. for 7 seals.
      In 2012, Grew up. scientists - created the most powerful electric generator in the world. 5 times more powerful than the most powerful in the world. It is the size of a desk. So the question of installing laser and other units, such as electromagnetic tools on satellites, ships, planes and a source for their power - we can say the issue has already been resolved. A matter of time. Just in time for the year 20 and will appear.

      Yeah, the military, a couple of communication satellites)))) Normally so zapulul. you need a little more rubbish here in orbit, so that amers would lose all the equipment crazy)))) Yes, and Glonass needs to be developed, otherwise GPS can turn off the harmfulness or set the settings off at the wrong time, as in a couple of cases ...

        The governor of the Khabarovsk Territory said in an interview that work had been stopped in Vostochny due to lack of funding. The debt is 12bn. rub.

        Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East - Plenipotentiary of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Viktor Ishaev today held a meeting on the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome. The minister stressed that the creation of the cosmodrome is seriously hampered by the absence of a construction directorate, although the decision to create it was made at a previous meeting with the participation of the plenipotentiary, the press service of the plenipotentiary told RIAP Khabarovsk Online.
        today 1800 people are involved in the construction of the cosmodrome, and by September the number of workers and engineers will increase to 3 thousand.
        So the work is going on there and no one will stop it because of temporary difficulties

    It's time for us to restore the "Legend". Yes, and satellites "in uniform" with sensible "peepers" are thicker to fill in orbit.
