Has the specific landing site been identified, other than being in the Orenburg region?
Totsky districy, according to this video :

Two debris objects have been cataloged associated with the Foton-M4 mission.
The final orbit of Foton-M4 on Sep 1 was 247 x 524 km. Objects 40150 and 40151
were in 301 x 793 km and 529 x 654 km orbits on Sep 16. This corresponds to
ejections in the 50 to 100 m/s range.
If this were an old style Foton with a Zenit service module I'd assume these were the PTDU deorbit motor cover halves,
which were ejected during the deorbit burn with a posigrade delta-V. But with the new service module,
which we have been assuming is a liquid propulsion system of Yantar type, I don't know what would be ejected
in this way.

Jonathan, these two objects appeared in the Sat Sit Report on Monday but the first TLEs only appeared yesterday: I will drop a line to Space-Track to see if we can get the older TLEs released.
Bion-M was essentially the same design and that didn't leave any new objects in orbit when it came down. Could the Foton-M objects be discarded experiment packages that were specific to this flight?
