It'll take so long because it first needs a flying Souyz-5 (they become the boosters), and a heavy Angara-A5V (Yenisei uses Angara's hydrogen upper stage). Oh, and they haven't even started building a launch pad for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double-wield, even. And there’s NO US cargo going up on this launch, either. This is starting to sound more and more like the plot to some sci-fi horror movie.

P.S. They should put a rubber skin of Schwarzenegger Valuev (a boxing champion) on it. Spoiler Edited August 22, 2019 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Steve Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Sending a Russian robot that can hold and accurately shoot not one but two guns to the most expensive research base ever can't go wrong, not at all. Iirc there are or were guns in the soyuz spacecraft in case of a landing in an area with bears. They may have been taken out a while ago though.

Iirc there are or were guns in the soyuz spacecraft in case of a landing in an area with bears. They may have been taken out a while ago though. The former TP-82 Spoiler had been replaced with usual PM Spoiler (to shoot eight bears per load instead of just two three it's three-barrelled). Two Soyuzes, two PMs. F-850 can use two at once. At last somebody can defend the base from alien invaders. Edited August 22, 2019 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Just took a look at the video above, and now am puzzled. They said, Ferdor is Skybot F-850. But at 49:44 there is a tweet where he his human familiar writes: "I am ... F-859" Is this a true, correct Skybot The Fedor?
