Putin: Our low-orbit satellite constellation is in no way inferior to Starlink.

Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the domestic low-orbit satellite constellation will be in no way inferior to Starlink, and may even surpass its American counterpart in some ways. Among other things, Russia is currently working on creating a constellation of satellites for heavy-lift control. dronesAccording to the Ministry of Defense, Russia produces more than 10 models of delivery drones with payload capacities ranging from 10 to 40 kg. Since the beginning of 2026, approximately 20 heavy-duty drones designed for cargo delivery have been delivered to the military.

Putin also emphasized that our Ministry of Defense is becoming a high-tech agency. In addition to the creation of a low-orbit satellite constellation, active work is underway on developing drones with artificial intelligence. The Russian president called counter-drone operations a critical task, with both industry and "craftsmen across the country" developing the necessary equipment, and the most in-demand advanced technology being included in state defense procurement. Furthermore, Putin announced that he had instructed the "people's defense industry" to eliminate unnecessary administrative oversight in the development of new equipment.

The head of state noted that Russia is now practically alone in confronting the so-called collective West, represented by NATO. He recalled that our country has always had many enemies—even the whole of Europe fought against Russia alongside Napoleon and Hitler. Putin also stated that many countries joined NATO to secure "a piece of the pie if Russia were defeated," but now they apparently understand that attempting to inflict a strategic defeat on our country is an impossible task.

How tiresome is this endless stream of rhetoric about "achievements" always in the future tense! Starlink already exists, and anything that will surpass it exists only in the folders that serve it up. Maybe it's time to become a lecturer at a village club, and hand over my post to someone at least younger and more energetic, someone who knows how to get news and information from more than just folders from subordinates?

Putin: Our low-orbit satellite constellation is in no way inferior to Starlink.

Has a time machine really already been invented and is it known exactly what we will have in the future?
Just as our airliners will be no less capable than Boeing in the bright future. It's a shame that all this is also in the future tense. Russia is a country of the future. Well, better late than never. All that's left is to believe in the best. It's a shame they never said what kind of system we'll have in the future or who will rule Russia. They apparently didn't want to upset us.

Well, better late than never. All that's left to do is believe in all the good things.

Nekrasov came to mind for some reason...: "... Don't be shy for your dear fatherland...
I brought enough Russian people,
He took this railroad too -
He will bear everything that the Lord sends!

It will endure everything - and broad, clear
Breast pave the way for himself.
The only pity is to live in this beautiful time
I don’t have to - neither to me nor to you. ”

I believe it! It will happen. Now they'll raise the retirement age to 100, and a tax on air for those over 60—and immediately, incomes will grow and expenses will decrease, and there will be no need to cut! So someday they'll cut it and finish cutting it! "But not everyone will live to see that happy moment" (C) :)

Well, the president is right about "superiority in some ways." Specifically, in deployment costs and consumer prices (unless it's a purely military project). But those are minor details, as long as this satellite system exists at all.

Well, the president is right about "it will surpass in some ways." Specifically, in terms of deployment costs and consumer prices.

You're right, it looks like we'll easily surpass Starlink in terms of budget spending per payload and the price of terminals for citizens. Furthermore, there are a host of other parameters by which "our domestic low-orbit satellite constellation will be in no way inferior to Starlink, and perhaps even surpass its American counterpart." For example, in terms of announcements, presentations, the number of grand promises, deadline shifts, the number of various meetings, etc.
But as for the scale of the network, the number of satellites in orbit, the breadth of coverage, the channel capacity, the number of subscribers, the launch rate... That's a big question. It seems more believable to deploy the network in a decade instead of a couple of years.

I'm simply not prone to cult-like thinking, but I also don't consider myself a panicker or a doomsayer. I'm simply speaking as I see the situation and as others see it.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

I tend to have a sectarian mindset.
Sectarian thinking in your understanding is FAITH without which nothing happens at all, not to mention victories.
You are not characterized by FAITH, which you report without a shadow of regret, which means you have not had any victories in life.
Or am I wrong and your despondency is age-related?
If it's age-related, then I can understand you.

Sergey, what exactly do you believe in and who do you believe in? I read your comments and was blown away. I apologize if anything is wrong. Honestly, the only thing holding me back is the rules of this site, otherwise I would have expressed everything to you succinctly and meaningfully. Prigozhin described our president with one clear, understandable word, and he wasn't embarrassed or afraid of it, and this clear, understandable word applies to his entire entourage. Throw out this defamiliar nonsense about the Central Intelligence Agency.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

It's better to express and explain things to yourself, so as not to be overwhelmed, succinctly and meaningfully

Why the hell did you need to put in your two provocative cents?

What I believe in is none of your business. And I certainly don't believe in the gray matter of the crowd, which imagines that its idle chatter, intentions, and language aren't being manipulated by a third party who benefits from such sentiments to shape the necessary "public opinion."

So get rid of your "deficiency" nonsense about how you are free to make your own choices and that you are not being led by strings here since they have been given such a wonderful opportunity to influence characters predisposed to such influence.

[yuliatreb]

Sergey, how can I not put in my two cents here? Such nonsense is not often spouted here. I congratulate you, you are a star, and most importantly, you have your own special opinion on everything that is happening, and that is the most important thing.

And our president was described by E. Prigozhin in one word that everyone understands.

Actually, he said this about Gerasimov, which he later confirmed in an interview. He also said it in a video under the slogan, "Gerasimov, where are the shells?!"
But the fact that he is talking about Putin is the antics of that very same CIPSO, for which I congratulate you.

[yuliatreb]

Come on, don't drag me into Gerasimov's trial. The video isn't about the shells at all, it's about how Putin and his generals are fighting, which is a complete... And then there's his specific remarks about VVP, that he's a weirdo and his entourage are the same. This isn't my wild imagination, but a fact that took place.

[bayard]

Quote: yuliatreb

And then they went to Moscow to save Putin from a coup? They were talking about removing Shoigu and Gerasimov and supporting VVP. Because they knew the inner workings of the towers' relationships. They put Ivanov and all of Shoigu's other deputies in place, and Shoigu himself was given an honorary pension position, because he's a "prince of the blood" and untouchable. Why Gerasimov is still in place is a matter of internal agreements. And about Utkin and Prigozhin juggling grenades on the plane, when in reality a bomb tore off a wing... do you believe that? I believe the Afrika Korps more. And the second Wagner PMC plane that flew there.

After 13 years on the site, I've been gone for six months now. It's become impossible to stay on it. I just popped in to support you.
Firstly, most people have either a poor or a narrow education. So how does it come about that we still exist as a country and hold up relatively well compared to other countries (even the divine USA, Israel, and China are worse, if you look closely)? But our opponents are convinced that we're worse off than others, even though we make up 0.5% of the world's population. Yet, if you consider the achievements of my homeland, they're many times greater relative to the world's population than any other country. And yet, we have the harshest climate and the enormous costs associated with it.

Now regarding Putin’s report.
1. Timing and deployment
• Starlink: Deployed since 2019, the network is fully operational, commercially operated worldwide, and is constantly being expanded. Using its own reusable Falcon 9 rockets, SpaceX launches satellites in batches of 20–60 every few days.
• Rassvet: The project began in 2020. Tests of experimental satellites were conducted in 2023–2024, and the first batch launch of 16 production satellites took place on March 23, 2026. The commercial launch of the service is scheduled for 2027. Full deployment of the 292-satellite constellation (requiring 24 Soyuz rocket launches) is planned to be completed by 2030.
2. Financing and budget
• Starlink: Investments amount to billions of US dollars, the project is fully recouped by millions of commercial and military subscribers around the world.
• Rassvet: The total project budget until 2030–2036 is estimated at approximately 445–514 billion rubles. Hybrid financing: approximately 116–207 billion rubles are allocated by the state as part of the Data Economy national project, and the rest are ICS Holding’s own funds.
3. Cost to the user (Subscriber segment)
• Starlink: The terminal costs around $350–$600, with a monthly subscription fee ranging from $40 to $120 (depending on the country and plan type). It is officially banned and does not operate in Russia.
• Rassvet: The preliminary estimated cost of the Russian terminal is 40,000 – 55,000 rubles. Official subscription fees have not yet been established, as the network is in the testing phase.

I agree. But, firstly, as you yourself noted, we're holding on. We're making an effort to avoid collapse. Secondly, the trends are bad. We're confidently moving towards the level of third-world countries. We even survived until an attempted military coup, at least it was carried out by a quasi-governmental structure.

It all looks so beautiful. But you stubbornly refuse to see what irritates everyone: Starlink is the present, and Dawn is the future. And it would be good if this future actually arrived and didn't melt away under the constant rightward shift. Because we're missing the most important thing: the specialists in their places. The Minister of Defense is sometimes a taxman, sometimes a rescue worker, sometimes an economist. Are there no military personnel left in the country? Are there no military economists, since the minister is supposed to crunch numbers? The other day, a tanker was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces. Are there no pilots left? Or planes? We'll just walk along the plane route... And so on forever. So it turns out, the president makes beautiful reports and launches programs. One famous manager said about beautiful reports and articles about a single program:

Since GOELRO employees, despite all their good qualities, still lack healthy practicality (a professorial impotence is felt in the articles), it is imperative to infuse their planning committee with people with practical experience, acting according to the principles of "deliver the execution," "complete by the deadline," etc.

We don't see people in real practice. And while they're gone, their fine words reek of professorial impotence. But there was also the matter of bringing pensions and salaries up to schedule, and "we'll drink later, when these problems are solved." Where did everything go?

[Umpteenth]

My education may be lousy. But at least my memory is not like a fish's. Our president, God bless him, has said a lot. You could publish a book on his talk, calling it pipe dreams. He talks about jobs, affordable housing, gasoline, and so on and so forth. But there's a pattern: the more he talks about it, the less comprehensible it all becomes.

Musk's many thousands of satellites are a major problem. Firstly, they mostly use old technology, unlike his new and our own innovations. Secondly, aside from a slightly faster response time, they are riddled with drawbacks and the enormous costs of maintaining low orbit.

You asked, we answer
According to calculations by astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, who tracks each spacecraft, the dynamics of satellite destruction in the atmosphere looks like this:
• 2021: 78 satellites.
• 2022: 99 satellites.
• 2023: 88 satellites.
• 2024: 316 satellites.
• 2025: about 700 satellites
Comparison of Soyuz-5 fuel and Elon Musk's rockets
• Soyuz-5 (Naphthyl + Oxygen): Naphthyl has a slightly higher density and thermal stability. This allows the RD-171MV engine to produce record thrust and slightly increases specific impulse (efficiency) compared to conventional kerosene. Naphthyl is also environmentally safe (unlike the highly toxic heptyl).
• Falcon 9 (RP-1 Kerosene + Oxygen): Elon Musk uses RP-1, the American standard for highly purified rocket-grade kerosene. Its energy properties are similar to those of Russian naphthyl, but naphthyl provides slightly better energy performance for closed-cycle engines.
• Starship (Methane + Oxygen): Musk is moving away from kerosene and toward liquefied methane. Methane is cheaper than naphthyl, doesn't leave soot in the exhaust pipes (which is critical for reusable engines), and allows for easier interflight maintenance.

The architecture of the Yenisei super-heavy rocket with Soyuz-5 boosters
The Russian super-heavy rocket Yenisei (designed for the lunar program) is assembled like a construction kit from ready-made Soyuz-5 components:
• First Stage (Side Boosters): Six boosters are mounted around the central block, each of which is a slightly modified first stage of the Soyuz-5 (Irtysh) rocket. Each of these boosters is equipped with an RD-171MV engine.
• Second stage (Central block): The central rod of the rocket is also an extended stage based on Soyuz-5 technology, but adapted for the central engine (RD-180 or RD-171MV options were considered).
• Third stage: Upper hydrogen block (taken from the heavy rocket "Angara-A5V").
The colossal combined thrust of six RD-171MV "tsar engines" at launch should allow the Yenisei to launch 88 to 100+ tons of payload into low Earth orbit.
Why is such a scheme needed?
Using the Soyuz-5 as a ready-made "cube" for a super-heavy rocket offers important advantages:
1. Savings on development: There's no need to build new giant engines or separate factories to produce the stages of a super-heavy rocket. Once the technologies have been proven on a single Irtysh, they can simply be scaled up.
2. Reliability: By the time of the Yenisei's first launch, its side boosters (that is, the first stages of the Soyuz-5) will have already undergone dozens of real commercial and government launches, having gotten rid of their "teething problems."
3. Standardization of Diameters: The Soyuz-5 tanks have a diameter of 4,1 meters. This size was specifically chosen to allow the stages to be transported by rail and used for assembling the super-heavy-class "package."
Elon Musk used a similar approach (packaging identical modules) when creating the Falcon Heavy, which consists of three Falcon 9 first stages bundled together. However, Musk's package consists of three blocks, while the Russian Yenisei rocket plans to combine six (or seven, including the center) boosters based on the Soyuz-5.

This is the kind of leaven of whiners of the late USSR, when everyone was literally expecting a schizophrenia, but ended up with a world war on the ruins of an empire.

Now this endless whining, head-scratching, hand-wringing, hysteria, a string of idiotic advice and curses directed at the General Staff and the Kremlin continues. It's exactly the same campaign that was accompanied by the same sentiments as before the collapse of the USSR, and our "Western partners" quite rightly believe that a continuation of the revolution in Russia, riots in the regions, and the disintegration of the country are possible.

And this stupid public contributes to such sentiments.

So it certainly wasn't the only one, even if there really was only one Rassvet launch this year – a constellation of 20+ such satellites had already been deployed in orbit (at least two launches, as the Soyuz launches 16) as a test batch. The launch earlier this year almost doubled that constellation. And the idea that it was the only one this year could be a misconception, as there's less and less public information available. So, including the previous ones, there are now over 30 such satellites in orbit, and they're operational. Their orbit is higher than Starlink's (around 800 km), meaning their communications coverage area is many times greater, as is their throughput – comrade posted a comparative table with the specifications here. So the president was telling the truth when he said that "it may even surpass Starlink in some ways." That's exactly what common sense is all about – words correspond to reality. In this part .
Well, the deployment timeframes for the entire constellation are being given in different ways. In a news program broadcast on camera, the new head of Roscosmos said they plan to deploy the entire constellation within two years, starting in December of last year (the December launch was then slightly delayed). Other reports are already talking about a timeframe as close as 2030, but that's already four to five years away, and apparently includes backups.
So there is no doubt about the desire to deploy the group as quickly as possible; we need it to provide communications not only for light UAVs, but also for reliable communications for aviation, in the troops, for the same S-70 "Okhotnik" which are already in serial/pre-serial production, but which cannot be used normally without such communications.

Really? I'm ashamed of my failure in knowledge, I sprinkle ashes on my head.
But you know... there's a problem. Arguing with me about space is a bit... hmm... problematic.
Therefore, I will give you some friendly advice: first learn to use the search (after which, by the way, it would not be a sin to study the technical aspects before writing nonsense).
But let's get started anyway. The President spoke about satellite constellation, which in some ways may even be superior to Starlink. That is, it is a priori assumed that this grouping working, since it is being compared to a similar, already operational constellation. It follows that we can only be talking about one batch of 16 satellites launched as a result of one launch.
Now about your numbers pulled out of thin air.
The Bureau had exactly two experimental missions: Rassvet-1 (3 spacecraft in 2023) and Rassvet-2 (3 spacecraft in 2024). That's a total of 6 spacecraft. And on March 23, 2026, the first batch of 16 production spacecraft was launched. Remember how to add numbers? 6 + 16 = 22. Where did you get the "over 30" figure? You're either bad at math or you believe in "secret launches" that only you can see, apparently. Incidentally, any reference to mythical "secrecy" is completely inappropriate here. Space is a public thing; every Soyuz launch is recorded by hundreds of independent observers and ground stations around the world. It's impossible to hide a launch vehicle's launch.
But let's move on. The six satellites that have been in orbit since 2023–2024 are test prototypes (does the term "prototype" need explaining?). They don't have the functionality of a production communications system, they don't operate in a single commercial network, they are purely "technology demonstrators." Only a first-grader could consider them a fully-fledged "deployed constellation."
Let's go even further. What's that, exactly? "30 such satellites, and they're operational"? I'm disappointed. Bureau 1440 has already officially acknowledged the loss of one of the 16 production satellites. For a system where even 16 satellites don't provide continuous coverage, a 6% loss of the constellation isn't a "statistical error"; it's a failure during the launch phase. The adjective "operational" somehow doesn't fit this unfortunate fact.
Let's sum it up? There aren't "over 30 working satellites" in orbit right now, but a handful of test prototypes and 15 serial devicesTalking about any real group is at the very least frivolous.

Why argue with you? You're not even trying to hide your true nature.

The figures in those publications differed somewhat, but the test group was definitely not six. You may disagree, and we may have our doubts after the promises of "1100 aircraft by 2030," but the test group size in both the report and the initial publications was precisely "around 20+" (the figures in the sources fluctuated somewhat). Your fidgeting and bile are understandable, and your conclusions and the resulting substance are standard professional practice for an "intelligence officer."

Quote: Intelligence

Where did you get "over 30"?

That's where I took it from, and mind you, I formulated it very correctly.

Quote: Intelligence

either you are bad at counting, or you believe in "secret launches" that are apparently only visible to you.

No, what I meant was that the payload composition of each launch isn't always made public. Satellites launched for different purposes happen, so I might have missed the second launch in this series, since I don't specifically track them. I think the entire series will be launched more or less as planned and on schedule, as the launch vehicles and their payloads become ready.

Quote: Intelligence

I'm sorry to disappoint you. Bureau 1440 has already officially acknowledged the loss of one of its 16 production satellites. For a system where even 16 satellites don't provide continuous coverage, a 6% loss of the constellation isn't a "statistical error"—it's a failure.

Wow, the "reconnaissance" guy is so emotional. The loss of one satellite out of 16 in a single launch. Is that really a failure? Or is the loss acceptable during the launch of the first batch of production Rassvets? Musk's satellites sometimes crashed in batches—dozens of them, and the way they malfunctioned... You didn't consider those losses a "failure," did you?

Quote: Intelligence

The adjective "working" somehow weakly fits with this unfortunate fact.

That's how they work, scout Maxim, they work. And the constellation is deploying. And by the way, in the report by the head of Roscosmos on the latest (second?) test batch of Rassvets in orbit, it was stated that they have the same configuration as production satellites and, during the test period, fully confirmed their readiness and compliance with the technical specifications.

Quote: Intelligence

To summarize?

You should either put on your underwear or take off your skis - it's summer outside... scout. With an airplane.

And yes, the minus is not from me.

Quote: bayard

I repeat the question: whose department are you serving? The former Budanov diocese.

Yeah, right... Budanov—that's to be expected. But a bit weak. And where's the traditional "TsIPSO!!!" label that a hapless opponent always slaps on anyone when they're backed into a corner with facts and figures? This is out of whack.
I didn't know, of course, that Budanov's department already oversees the Russian space industry enterprises where I've worked my entire life. But you apparently have different information.
I'll give you another piece of good advice: don't try to engage in a dialogue on equal terms with someone who is more competent in a particular field. In this case, you should have first worked as an operator at at least one RKA/FKA/RK enterprise. Then as a designer at two specialized design bureaus. Then, for a long time, work in pure analytics.
Am I having a conversation with someone who embodies the ideal example of a "report believer"? Someone who operates not with numbers, facts, or specific references, but with faith in the word of their superiors? Then I'm ending the discussion; that's beyond my level.
Finally, a few comments.
1. If you believe any "on-camera" report, show me at least one track of an orbital object, other than the official six (three in 2023, three in 2024), that would confirm your story about 20+. Considering every single object in orbit a "secret Dawn" isn't analysis. It's a diagnosis. Come up with your own name for the disease.
2. Don't compare piecemeal production to an assembly line. When Musk loses 10 satellites, he still has 6000 in orbit. When we lose 1 in 16, we lose 6% his "group". Loss criticality level different, but your love for “reports” apparently prevents you from understanding this.
3. You even have a logical conflict in one sentence: they're "working," then they're "deploying." You need to decide: either this is a ready-made service (like Starlink), or this is a "test period" where everything went wrong.
4. Your clumsy attempts to attribute emotion to me are simply a way of avoiding the question: why, despite the enormous Soviet space legacy, the superb space program, and the considerable industrial potential, does the Russian Federation still lack even a meager semblance of a Starlink? Yes, it's an awkward question. It immediately stumps any patriot. But it will have to be answered. Especially in today's reality.
I'm not answering any more. Your argumentation style—"they said so in the report," "the numbers fluctuated," "he could have missed the launch"—isn't a discussion; it's, excuse me, chatter, demagoguery, and empty rhetoric. I repeat: it's not my level.

[bayard]

Quote: Intelligence

You should have first worked as an operator at at least one RKA/FKA/RK enterprise. Then as a designer at two specialized design bureaus. Then, for a long time, work in pure analytics.

You're incredibly arrogant when talking to someone you don't know. I haven't worked directly in this industry, of course, but I have plenty of acquaintances, neighbors, and friends in it. I'm also familiar with "pure analytics," having studied all the relevant (rocket and space technology) intelligence reports going back 20 years back in the mid-80s, and then spent several years supervising the landings of almost all Soviet spacecraft, including the Buran. I knew both leading and ordinary designers, production managers, including Yuzhmash and its subdivisions. So don't flaunt your knowledge, as all your information is biased and often malicious. You can try to deny it, but it's obvious.

Quote: Intelligence

If you believe any report "on camera"

Here, on camera, are supposedly the two top officials – the president and the head of Roscosmos. And the information about Rassvet has been repeated by all the news agencies and many media outlets. I'm certainly not old enough to believe in Santa Claus, but even you, from your intelligence agency, confirm that 16 production Rassvets have been launched into orbit and deployed, with one lost. A total of 15 production satellites and (according to you, I haven't verified them) six test satellites. A total of 21 satellites.

Quote: Intelligence

which would confirm your story about 20+.

So you confirmed it yourself, without any effort on my part. What's wrong with the "scout"? Is his memory failing?

Quote: Intelligence

When Musk loses 10 satellites, he still has 6000 in orbit.

He lost not 10, but dozens of satellites at a time, and in total, well over a hundred. But he wins with mass production and low cost/frequency of launches. We have different conditions. And you have none at all. Don't pretend to be a compatriot; you're on fire.
Well, I had the chance to know representatives of Ukrcosmos, the Soviet legacy, and you have plenty left.

Quote: Intelligence

1 out of 16, we're losing 6% of our "group." Critical level of losses

What's the point of this theatricality?
The first launch of the production batch, one satellite was lost (no details provided). There's nothing critical here; the constellation is just beginning to deploy, everything will be replaced. We're only at the beginning of this journey; Musk already has an entire industry. But our Rassvet orbits are 800 km, meaning they'll be slowed by the atmosphere almost completely, while covering a much larger area. This is a definite advantage compared to Musk's constellation concept. He's already realized this and is preparing to deploy a new type of satellite for higher orbits.

Quote: Intelligence

3. You even have a logical conflict in one sentence: sometimes they “work”, sometimes they “unfold”.

You have a conflict with Logic. I have complete mutual understanding with it.
The Rassvet constellation will take several more years to deploy. And these satellites are already operational. It's astonishing how someone who's been doing "pure analytics" can commit such heresy. But a "reconnaissance" one can.

Quote: Intelligence

Decide: either this is a ready-made service (like Starlink), or this is a "test period" where everything did not go according to plan.

Here it is Jesuit. What "service," "reconnaissance"? The constellation is deploying, the satellites are WORKING. We're still a long way from full and continuous coverage, but in a year or two or three, it will be a completely different story. How many times has Musk been deploying his Starlinks? How many have he been testing? And how many have deorbited unscheduled?

Quote: Intelligence

Why, despite the enormous Soviet space legacy, the magnificent space school, and the sufficient industrial potential, does the Russian Federation still not have even a pathetic semblance of Starlink?

Well this is just a masterpiece!! I should be asking you, the "intelligence officer," since you're dressed up as a Roscosmos designer and analyst. How did you end up like this? Why couldn't you create a pathetic imitation? This is your direct professional responsibility and duty to the Motherland!
What? Do you and I have different homelands?
Well then tell me how Ukrkosmos, "analyst" and "designer", got to this point.

Quote: Intelligence

show me at least one track of an orbital object,

"Scout," I certainly received telegrams from Beregovoy at one point detailing the flights of all NATO satellites over our unit's area of ​​responsibility, but that's a distant memory. But you, "scout," seem to be much closer to NATO headquarters.

There's even publicly available data on the Sphere project. But in our specific case, how can we tell if we're talking specifically about the Rassvet satellites? Then it's unclear why you're using the word "launches" in the plural.
There was only one launch of one cluster of 16 devices. That's all.
The previous 2 test launches to the working group (namely about grouping (the article is about) are not related.

Starlink already exists, and anything that will surpass it exists only in the folders that are served to it.

In fact, the Rassvet satellites are already operational in orbit, and their deployment is proceeding as planned. The entire constellation is promised to be deployed within two years, and deployment and launch have already been underway for six months. There were no announcements about the launch of the production satellites before they began. The announcement was made after the test constellation had been operating in orbit for 1,5-2 years and all the final work had been completed.

Quote: Elektronik2000

It's time to become a lecturer at the village club

The "lecturer" apparently said these words during the awards ceremony. Or maybe you're just imagining "Putin cartoons"? They're all already in service and being tested in the Air Defense Forces. Just like other products that haven't been featured in cartoons.

an endless stream of verbiage

Before writing this post, had you heard or been interested in anything about a satellite broadband system? Or, for people like you, does Russia still have "no more than 20 Su-57s" in service? Well, I'll disappoint you: by the end of last year, three two-squadron regiments were already operational (that's how many regiments Russia has), or more than 70 units. By the end of this year, we expect around 120 units. But the village club will definitely tell you something different.
And I didn’t reveal any secrets, I just know how to work with open sources of information.

[Andrey M]

a stream of verbiage with "achievements" certainly in the future tense!

Okay, if it's in the future! The major news agency Vzglyad wrote "WILL NOT GIVE IN," not "WILL NOT GIVE IN." As they say, "Feel the difference."

[Blackbeard]

In this case, things are a little different. This year, deployment of a constellation of satellites for this purpose (Rassvet) has already begun. There are already 16 of them in orbit, and by the end of 2026, 156 are promised, and 383 by 2028. Over 13 years of observing Roscosmos, I've noticed a trend: if a forecast is made for the next 1,5 years, the likelihood of its fulfillment is very high, especially for military purposes, which always takes priority over scientific launches.

Yeah. Just look at open sources to see how many of their Starlinks are flying and how many launch vehicles our satellites "drop." At the same time, I've heard, to put it mildly, that the launch vehicles (or rather, their electronics) are often assembled by our Kulibiny (or Kulibiny) on the spur of the moment. They found them themselves, got creative, and assembled them themselves. Something like that.

Mmm... And I remember how he promised a lot of things about the Moon....

Now Russia is practically alone in confronting the so-called collective West in the person of NATO.

Like the fact that Russia has no allies is his achievement and something to be proud of? But Comrade Stalin somehow managed to gain support even from his most ardent enemies. And not just in words.

[Fan-fan]

He recalled that our country has always had many enemies.

He whistled, as always, that we have no allies now. Batka is the only one left, and that's for now. This is the result of his policies. Russian diplomats, led by Lavrov, have proven themselves to be utter incompetents and have lost all their allies. Recently, Armenia, too, has completely deserted the enemy. Incompetent diplomacy and incompetent foreign policy have driven the country to the point where our enemies have finally dragged us into a war we cannot win. There's no end in sight to the war, and we clearly can't achieve Putin's stated goals.

[alexoff]

How can we have allies if we're opposing the evil and bad NATO? But Zelensky was invited to talks from the very first hours of the Cold War, and when Trump came to power, the leadership was completely obsessed with him—the one who directly threatened our allies. Who would befriend someone the West beckons with and who jumps out of his pants with joy against the West?

[alexoff]

What other Nasreddin and the donkey? It's all solved by simple memory loss; they'll forget everything in a week!
June 2018, Direct Line

We have our own program, a very good one. For example, the new "Sphere" program, which envisions the launch of over 600 satellites over the next few years that will handle positioning, Earth sensing, and communications. This will be a real breakthrough.

This is another area where we can achieve a breakthrough, because the quality of communications will be such that it can essentially replace cable connections, no worse in quality and coverage, but should be cheaper and more accessible. Overall, this could lead to a complete revolution in communications.
We have strong programs related to deep space exploration. By 2022, we should conduct the first tests of a medium-class rocket, and by 2022, these should include unmanned launches, and by 2024, manned spacecraft should be in use. Overall, we have large, very ambitious plans for the development of space.

I assure you, we will continue down this path. It's no coincidence that we've invested considerable funds and resources into creating a new cosmodrome, incidentally, in the east of our country—the Vostochny Cosmodrome. We will develop it specifically as a civilian component of our space activities.

At the beginning of 2019, the total number of Russian satellites was 88 units, in 2020 – 94, in 2021 – 99, and in 2022 – 102. In 2025, the number of satellites increased from 288 to 300 devices.

It may fail in two months or even in a day - that's technology.

But we're unlikely to hear him say "Not inferior." If only because satellites in low orbits have a lifespan measured in months. However, he'd be afraid to compete with the Americans at altitudes of 500 km.

Could you elaborate on this thought? Why bother with this "battle" when you can simply launch the satellite to that altitude?

Thank you, captain. )))
Look into the history of Starlink; during the first launches, 5% of the satellites failed.
Oh yeah, 1 in 16 is 6%, it's all gone, boss, it's all gone!

I am also surprised by the predominance of minuses on normal comments and the abundance of pluses on absolutely meaningless and useless senile vomit.
But there's no point in removing them. It's better if you understand the context in which you're speaking.

Guess what industrial safety measures were taken? Massive ones. They even built an Orthodox church on site.

You're probably lying. The temple may have been built, but some safety regulations have changed. Have there been any accidents or disasters there since then?

Judging by the comments lately, there's been a slight increase in problems in the form of Ukrainian drone activity, and everyone's immediately thrown into a despondent and defeatist mood. If people like you had lived during the Great Patriotic War, you would definitely have lost...

Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the domestic low-orbit satellite constellation will be in no way inferior to Starlink, and may even surpass its American counterpart in some ways.

Putin announced a Russian mission to Mars in 2019.
"We'll be launching unmanned spacecraft there now, and then manned ones—for deep space exploration, the Lunar Program, and then Mars exploration. The first one is coming very soon—in 2019, and then we're planning to launch a mission to Mars."
“Our specialists will try to make landings at the poles, because there is reason to believe that there may be water there. There is something to do there, and research on other planets and deep space can be started from there,” the Russian president said.

A promise doesn't mean a promise. And Shelomov, i.e., Putin, lies with consistent regularity. That's probably what he means when he constantly talks about stability.

How tiresome I am of this endless stream of rhetoric about "achievements" inevitably in the future tense! Starlink already exists, and anything that will surpass it exists only in the folders that serve it up. Elektronik.2000. I completely agree with you!

Do you consider yourself one of them?

They've been pulling the wool over your eyes for 35 years now, and you're still happily sticking your ears out 😂
