To spare a click and cut down on clickbait, Russian satellite electronics are 70% imported, and this is a vulnerability. Full stop.

Yes and it's very funny considering that Rogozin said recently that Russia needs to switch from rocket launch business to satellite manufacturing business.

this makes russia's satellite building plans even more suspect. Was it in a transfer orbit or did they manage to get to GSO?

Provisional near-GSO.

Should that thing even be treated seriously?

It’s not a thing that exists, so, no. Makeyev for the mear future is fully occupied with Sarmat deployment.

Eh, it no longer launches from a tube. They went to the regular tower because a silo is too loud for the payload, right?

Here's today's launch! Well, the build at least.

No, it launched from a tube, I watched it live. The tube is next to the tower.

 

Vid is at the right timestamp.

Get cracking on making a tube in KSP, lol.
