Obzor-R uses SVIT like Bars-M (in small letters on page 154).

Possible further confirmation of the links between Obzor-R and Bars-M, comes from a tender for components. It references the Obzor-R contract № 353-5028/13/46; but the components have specifications starting with 14К035 which is the code for the entire Bars-M complex.

Izvestiya quotes a well-informed source within Roskosmos as saying that a decision has been made to award Obzor-O to VNIIEM, the company that has built most of the country's meteorological satellites.  VNIIEM was reportedly selected over TsSKB/Progress.

it is my understanding that SVIT will be employed on almost all new generation satellite programmes by the company to phase out older generation technologies.

MOSCOW, December 24. / TASS /. The launch of the Obzor-R radar satellite from the Plesetsk cosmodrome is scheduled for the third quarter of 2021, follows from a government contract published on the public procurement portal.
"The purpose of the MCh R&D work [an integral part of the development work] is to ensure <...> the launch in the third quarter of 2021 of the Obzor-R No. 1 spacecraft [spacecraft] using the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle , - the document says.

This launch is to use a version of the ST-type fairing, the 81КС. In combination with the transfer compartment it is referred to as 204КС.

КА «Обзор-Р» №1
https://www.zakupki.gov.ru/epz/contract/contractCard/common-info.html?reestrNumber=4770238802720000130

The СЗБ is the combination of ГО and ПхО.
сборочно-защитный блок (СЗБ) 204КС
головной обтекатель (ГО) 81КС - the fairing
переходной отсек (ПхО) - transfer compartment

Factory serial number is 4м137с. It looks like components for the fairing were ordered in 2014 for delivery in 2016. The 2016 date would coincide with the target completion date of the Soyuz rocket.
Roskosmos only placed an order for the fairing in 2019 for delivery in 2021.

This launch is no longer going to use rocket 4м137с. A Soyuz-2-1a has been ordered as a replacement.

Alpha-ES #1, possible payload with Obzor-R #1:
Russia plans to launch what it calls its "first commercial remote sensing satellite for a foreign partner" this summer. This was announced last Monday during a round-table discussion on space policy organized by Committee for Economic Policy of the Federation Council (Russia's upper house of parliament).

The plans were briefly mentioned in two presentations, one of them given by a representative of a company named Barl, which builds remote sensing cameras and ground equipment for remote sensing satellites. As can be seen in a slide shown during the presentation, the satellite weighs 650 kg and will be launched into a 490x525 km Sun-synchronous orbit. It has a maximum resolution of 0.75 m. (attachment 1)

The same satellite is also seen in a slide shown during another presentation, where it is identified as a satellite belonging to "Project 505" (see attachment 2). This project is linked in some procurement documents and at least one company annual report to satellite manufacturer VNIIEM. Barl's website has a drawing of a satellite called Alpha-ES (Advanced High Resolution Earth Remote Sensing Satellite) (attachment 3), but that seems to have a slightly different design and weighs only 300 kg.

The foreign partner was not identified, but is almost certainly Iran.  In August 2015, VNIIEM, Barl and an Iranian company signed an agreement on the development of a remote sensing satellite for Iran that would use a modified version of VNIIEM's Kanopus platform. It was announced that the satellite would be launched as a co-passenger on a Soyuz launch vehicle.

Looking at this year's launch schedule, a possible candidate could be the Soyuz-2-1a /Fregat that will launch the Obzor-R radar satellite from Plesetsk in the third quarter of this year. According to the launch schedule published here, that will fly with "multiple small sats". Is there any source of information for that?

By the way, this will not be the first commercial remote sensing satellite that Russia builds for a foreign partner. That honor goes to Egyptsat-2, built by RKK Energiya and launched in April 2014. However, it was lost barely a year after launch and the Russians probably want to erase it from history.

And:
<snip>
According to the documentation, Obzor-R will be placed into a 97.97° inclination orbit with a mean altitude of 654 km. This is significantly higher than the altitude announced for the commercial remote sensing satellite [see cross-post above] (490x525 km). 

By the way, I noticed that the Barl company was placed on the US sanctions list in 2018 and there was speculation at the time that this was because of the satellite deal with Iran. Hard to explain though why VNIIEM escaped the sanctions if that was really the reason. Anyway, the reason why the Russians didn't identify the foreign partner is clearly politically motivated.

MOSCOW, May 29 - RIA Novosti. The launch of the first radar Earth observation satellite, Obzor-R, is planned for next year, said Valery Zaichko, deputy director of the Roskosmos navigation space systems department.
Earlier it was reported that the launch of Obzor-R by the Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket from the Plesetsk cosmodrome is scheduled for the third quarter of 2021.
"The first Obzor-R will start in 2022," Zaichko said in an interview with Russian Space magazine, published by Roskosmos.
As reported, the launches of two Obzor-R vehicles, originally scheduled for 2018 and 2020, were postponed to 2021 and 2023. Later, the press service of Roscosmos told RIA Novosti that the launch of the second Obzor-R is not planned until 2026.
