Launch of "Russian Starlink" Postponed Due to Satellite Production Failure

The launch was shifted from December, 2025 to somewhere in the first half of 2026, but I suppose it's worth reporting for Ukrainian propaganda outlet as "production failure".

Meanwhile you may enjoy the list of satellites[0] manufactured by independent Ukraine in the 35 years of its existence and read about all 4 of them. I'd say they have shed the Soviet legacy quite successfully.

I agree "production failure" is inaccurate. The real reasons are 'corruption and incompetence'.
