While getting excited about "things Proton", let us remember that 50 years ago today we had the debut of the three-stage Proton-K with the Blok D being used as a fourth stage.

That is true but Proton became an operational LV only in 1977 :(

It wont until Angara A1M, Angara A3M and Angara A5M leave development and are implemented to correct concerns from data generated by the first 2 Angara launches.
