Yes, second stage. I meant to say second stage. Hard habit to break, thinking of the Blok I as third stage all these years!
It did sort of start as the second stage of the R-9, part of the same family?

Yep.

After 50 years, they have re-invented the R-9. Edit: R-9 was an early ICBM with RD-111 as the first stage engine and RD-110 as the second stage engine, basically an analog of Titan I, which makes this Soyuz also an analog of Titan I.


BTW, it should be noted that the first stage engines are NK-33, not AJ-26. They come directly from Samara.

NO they are NK-33A (Modernized NK-33 updated with 21st century Engine controller and other new 21st Century systems installed to complete the creation of modernized NK-33 which is realized into the world as NK-33A) which Comes via Samara.

Unless the Iranians or some other player launch one unexpectedly!

Congratulations!

Btw, is this rocket meant to launch with 4 boosters as well in the future? I seem to recall seeing concept images of a heavy Soyuz launcher with the core powered by NK-33. It would be a neat evolution of the current Soyuz launcher to be able to launch with 0, 2, or 4 boosters depending on what performance is needed.

That would be the Soyuz 2.3 and Soyuz 3 variants.  Other notional plans included a cryogenic upper stage.   It's not clear if it will ever be developed or replaced with a totally new launch vehicle family.  I think the latter is more likely.

4  (four) RD-120.10F engines   might still be the next upgrade path (a good one).  They have serial production in the Ukraine.  Might be a good tradeoff for cash.
or a brand new RD-0155 engine (not much info available on this engine)
