LMAOOOOOO
Seems like russian science is as shit as russian military
Well then they just send 1000 probes and I'm sure one will work eventually
The quality of Russian science is irrelevant when 99% of funding goes into building new palaces and buying yachts.
Don't forget about brain drain.
The majority of Russians with any braincells (or money) have already left the country.
Yeah, brain drain is real. Every Russian I know from IT sphere has left. Many left after 2014 , everyone else left in 2022. Every person with a brain doesn't want to associate with the regime in any way and doesn't want to suffer.
It's roskosmos being roskosmos. I'm surprised it didn't explode mid-air.
Roskosmos is usually pretty competent.
I mean, they helped build the ISS (and a lot more) and have sent a lot people up there for YEARS without any fatalities.
^^^and ^^^no ^^^I ^^^dont't ^^^like ^^^Russia.
Engieneers are mostly competent(even with salary of about 50k โฝ/mo or 550$/mo), but managment... Incompetent managmemt is best you can hope, because Rogozin is much worse.
Production and quality control is so terrible that "accidentaly" much cheaper solder may be used, that later will cause A HOLE in ISS.
Also this particular mission was rushed. "Won't be ready for another year? Launch now!"
Ah, the EA strategy, a true classic!
You are never going to have competetent management when they're forced to follow unrealistic goals due to political reasons.
