Russia launches military satellites into space with an unknown mission
Russia launches a Soyuz-2.1v rocket with unknown satellites on board, claiming it was in the interests of the Ministry of Defence.
Here's What We Know
The launch took place from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region, which is under the control of the Russian Ministry of Defence. The aerospace forces of the aggressor country did not disclose details about the payload, limiting themselves to a general statement.
In short, this spaceport is used to launch satellites and conduct military tests. In October 2024, strategic nuclear forces exercises took place there, with the launch of the Yars intercontinental ballistic missile.
Previously, the Sarmat missile was tested there, which ended in failure with an explosion and destruction of the launch pad in September 2024.
From this cosmodrome, Russia has also launched military satellites, including the Bars-M and Lotus-S1 radio reconnaissance systems, as well as Glonass navigation satellites.
