The first Obzor-R radar satellite will be ready in 2019 and will be launched in the summer of 2020, CEO of the Samara-based Progress Rocket and Space Center Dmitry Baranov said on Thursday. This reported by TASS.

"The Obzor-R satellite with the radar payload is in a high degree of its readiness and we are to get it this year. The launch is planned for the summer of 2020," Baranov said.

As was reported earlier, Obzor-R Earth’s remote sensing satellite will carry radars based on the principles used in the Air Force, which will allow getting images with an accuracy of up to 1 meter.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
