Someone help with a bit of Russian please.There is a tender, I think about the storage of the remaining GLONASS-M, and transportation to the launch site. Only Plesetsk is mentioned?QuoteПроведение регламентных работ, транспортировка КА ГЛОНАСС на космодром запуска, возврат транспортировочных контейнеров для КА и его элементов с космодрома Плесецк на завод-изготовитель.Оказание услуг по хранению 7-ми космических аппаратов системы ГЛОНАСС.http://www.zakupki.gov.ru/epz/order/notice/ep44/view/common-info.html?regNumber=0995000000217000110

AFAIU, the GLONASS M launches are currently "on need for replacement".I.e., just like this launch: as old satellite fails they launch replacement.In other words, they do not plan to maintain orbital spares (well, at least this is what I heard).With respect to triplet launch by Proton - they have this as an option for a case of multiple failures in a short period.So it is not canceled in a strict sense, however it may never happen.And finally there is a launch of GLONASS K1 scheduled for late 2018, although it's unclear if the sat will be ready.

If necessary, to depletion?What would be the fate of any Glonass-M satellites that aren't launched?
By my count, there are four more Glonass-M satellites remaining on the ground, that will most likely launched individually by Soyuz 2-1b/Fregat-M from Plesetsk: 758, 759, 760, 761.Correct?

https://tass.ru/kosmos/6410951https://tass.ru/kosmos/6411177Here are a lot of information about the planned launches of GLONASS satellites in the next years.In 2019 are planned 3 Glonass-M, 1 K and 1 K2.In 2020 1 M(the last M), 3 K and 1 K2.In 2021 3 K.I will not include the plans for the next years, because I think the plan will be changed.
MOSCOW, May 8. /TASS/. The first launch of the Glonass satellites with the Angara carrier rocket is planned for 2024, according to the Strategy of GLONASS Development until 2030."The first launch of two Glonass-K2 spacecraft with the Angara rocket will take place in the first quarter of 2024. Angara will also deliver two satellites to the orbit in the third and fourth quarter of 2025 each," the document said.In 2024-2032, 18 Glonass-K2 satellites will be delivered to the orbit by nine Angara carrier rockets.Russian satellite Glonass-K2 is a modernized version of Glonass-K. It will be able to transmit nine navigation signals. The satellite's mass will be around 1,800 kg (twice as much as that of Glonass-K1).
In 2019–2033, it is planned to launch four Glonass-M satellites, nine Glonass-K and 33 Glonass-K2.In 2019, three Glonass-Ms and one Glonass-K and Glonass-K2 are to be put into orbit, in 2020 one Glonass-M, three Glonass-Ks and one Glonass К2 ", in 2021 - three" Glonass-K ", in 2022 - one each" Glonass-K "and" Glonass-K2 ". In 2023 it is planned to launch one Glonass-K and Glonass-K2, in 2024 four Glonass-K2, in 2025 six Glonass-K2, in 2026 two Glonass-K2 ".In 2029, it is planned to launch three Glonass-K2, in 2030 - seven Glonass-K2, in 2031 - three Glonass-K2, in 2032 - two Glonass-K2, in 2033 - two "Glonassa-K2".In 2025, it is planned to completely switch to the use of new-generation Glonass-K and Glonass-K2 satellites, which differ from the previous-generation Glonass-M satellites by the large number of emitted navigation signals.In addition, in the years 2023-2025, the Glonass-V high-orbit navigation satellites will be added to the GLONASS system in order to improve the accuracy of the GLONASS system.
MOSCOW, May 9th. / Tass /. Nearly 50 satellites of the GLONASS navigation system are planned to be launched before the end of 2033. This is stated in the System Development Strategy until 2033, which is at the disposal of TASS.In particular, in the years 2019-2020, 10 satellites of the system should go on Soyuz-2 launch vehicles. From 2024, the spacecraft will launch into space not only on the Soyuz missiles, but also on the heavy version of the Angara launch vehicle. In total, from 2024 to 2034, nine Angara-A5 rocket launches with navigation system satellites are planned.According to the strategy, the Soyuz missiles will be delivered into space by one satellite of the system, while the Angara will deliver two vehicles each. According to the materials, the possibility of using Proton missiles for future launches of the GLONASS system is no longer foreseen.
Economy 10:26, June 25, 2019The authorities will postpone the launch of serial production of Glonass-K satellitesFor them, there are not enough imported parts, the supplies of which are limited by sanctions, learned RBCMoscow. June 25th. INTERFAX.RU - The government can freeze funding for the mass production of Glonass-K satellites, since they lack imported parts, RBC learned . The site refers to the opinion of the Accounts Chamber on the draft amendments to the federal budget for 2019.It is impossible to assemble these satellites and produce ground-based control complexes "due to restrictions on the supply of foreign-made electronic components and the impossibility of their operational replacement," the document says.In this regard, in 2019, budget expenditures under the federal targeted program (FTP) “Maintaining, developing and using the Glonass system for 2012–2020” will be reduced by 12.9 billion rubles. 6.9 billion rubles from the reduced funds will be transferred to Roskosmos, another 6 billion rubles to the Ministry of Defense for the state program "Space Activity of Russia".At the same time, expenditures on other measures of the Federal Program for the Development of Glonass will be increased by 7.05 billion rubles. A part of this money will be used to create an "insurance reserve of the electronic component base of foreign production, including for the manufacture of 11 Glonass-K2 spacecraft".“The program of replenishment and modernization of the orbital grouping is preserved. There is an internal redistribution of funds for domestic development work with a view to import substitution,” commented RBC in the office of Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov.The Glonass-K2 satellites are a modified version of the third-generation Glonass-K devices (the first generation is Glonass, the second generation is Glonass-M).The development strategy of this satellite network envisages that the last Glonass-M satellite will be launched in 2020, the last Glonass-K satellite in 2023. In the orbital grouping, there are now two Glonass-K satellites, the launch of the third is postponed due to the lack of components.Components for "Glonass" came under the sanctions of the European Union and the United States as parts for dual-use systems, since "Glonass" can be used for military purposes.In the summer of 2018, the Interfax source in the rocket and space industry said that when creating new Glonass-K satellites, problems arose when importing electronic components. In the Glonass-M satellites there were 75-80% of Western components.
