Launched from a base in the north of the country and successfully reached its destination; will be used by the Russian Ministry of Defense; The government does not have the funding required to improve the condition of its satellites; Russian Atmospheric Agency: 80% of them are obsolete
Russia launched a military satellite into space last night. The press service of the space ministries stated that the satellite was launched using a "Mulania-M" type missile from a base in the north of the country, and will be used by the Ministry of Defense.
AP reported that the commander of the Russian Space Ministry, General Anatoly Paraminov, said that the satellite was the 222nd of the number launched in this way, and the 216th to successfully reach space.
The Russian government did not have the necessary funding to upgrade its fleet of satellites, which had become quite obsolete. The "Russian Atmospheric Agency" said last year that 80 percent of the civilian and military satellites in its possession were already supposed to go out of use due to obsolescence.
