Roscosmos conducted eight launches under the OneWeb program from two Russian cosmodromes during 2021. Five launches (March 25, April 26, May 28, July 1 and October 14) were performed from the new Vostochny launch site in the Amur Region and three launches (August 22, September 14 and December 27) from Baikonur. A total of 284 OneWeb satellites were injected into Earth orbit this year by Russian launch vehicles.

On Monday, December 27, 2021, at 13:10:37 UTC a Soyuz-2.1b rocket with a Fregat upper stage and 36 OneWeb satellites launched from Launchpad 6 of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. This was the twelfth launch under the OneWeb joint program.

The foreign customers of Glavkosmos (part of Roscosmos) confirmed that all the contractual obligations were fulfilled. All the spacecraft were accepted for communication by the customer. Upon completion of spacecraft separation and injection, the Fregat upper stage will be deorbited, and the unburnt elements will be sunk in the non-navigable part of the Pacific Ocean.

  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.
