The Bor-5 residing in Speyer is sitting on an adapter with К65М-РБ5 number 47122331 stamped on the side.So the question is, are there two R-14 derived launched vehicles with number 47122331 from 1983? Or was Kosmos-1506 launched by a rocket that started as К65М-РБ5 variant, rather than as a Kosmos-3M rocket?http://www.kosmonavtika.com/vaisseaux/bor/hist/fig3-5f.jpg
Do we have any new info regarding the status of the last two stored Kosmos-3Ms as a training version was assembled in July and rolled out to the pad at beginning of August and Disassembled and re-stored in its containers at end of August. This occurred last year and this year. A few online schedules have these two launchers launching at the end of the October and beginning December 2013. What is the latest.

So I guess that means Kosmos-3M is now retired even though the last two launchers still are in storage in its Plesetsk MIK.
The service life of two Kosmos-3M rocket has ended last year, so it means that the programme is closed.
FWIW, the video commemorates the 45th anniversary of the first Cyclone SATELLITE launch. Not Cyclone launcher. You would imagine that the Cyclone satellite would fly on the Cyclone LV.

It is launch of Cosmos 192, the first Tsiklon satellite, on the 5th Cosmos-3M launcher. That's why I've put this in the Cosmos-3M thread ! :-)
