The next five procured Angara-A1.2 launchers including the upcoming MKA-R launch have short serial numbers: 71602, 71603, 71604, 71605 and 71606. Launch order is unknown.
MOSCOW, December 31. / TASS /. Fire tests of the first sample of the RD-191M engine, which is intended for the Angara-A5M launch vehicle, will start next year. This is stated in the message of Roskosmos, distributed on Friday."The design documentation for the RD-191M has been prepared, including in the form of an electronic 3D model. Fire tests of the first instance of the RD-191M engine are scheduled for 2022," the statement says.As specified in the state corporation, the RD-191M differs from the RD-191 in terms of thrust level. "It is boosted by 10%. In this regard, a number of structural elements have changed," added the Roskosmos.The modernized Angara-A5M is designed for launches from the Vostochny cosmodrome. It is planned to use it to launch new manned spacecraft "Eagle".In May, the director general of the Khrunichev Center, Aleksey Varochko, told TASS that the assembly of the first flight prototype of the Angara-A5M launch vehicle, designed to launch the manned spacecraft Orel, would begin in 2023.

Is it possible that Russia wanted to launch a satellite aboard the Angara-1.2 variant first before launching one aboard the Angara-A5M variant because the Angara-1.2 is the baseline Angara variant?

Only the base version of A5 has flown.Baseline versionsA1.1 (deferred family baseline) replaces Rockot, Strela, and Kosmos families. Matches two stage Soyuz-2.1v capabilities.A1.2PP (A1.2 original two stage baseline with the PP added to distinguish it from the new baseline) replaces Tysklon and Dnepr families.A1.2 (new flight optimized two stage baseline with custom non URM stage) performs A1.1 and A1.2PP roles.A3 (deferred)A5 (active)A5M (A5 Modernized) in development and testingA5V (A5M with its kerolox URM-2 third stage replaced with the new hydrolox URM-2V third stage)
