I've been meaning to ask...I don't recall ever seeing any pictures of article 8M, the Crew Trainer that was supposedly at the GCTC. What finally happened to it?While I'm at it, what is the current status of 5M & 6M?

Thank you for the prompt response.I admit to confusion. According to the information I have, 4M is the vehicle on display at the Baikonur museum and 7M is the one in the MZK.I guess I need to buy your book...

The report says disassembly of the vehicle began today and should be finished about a week from now. Then the individual elements will be moved by truck to a nearby port and transported to Sochi by barge.

I hadn't seen this posted here yet.Be sure to turn subtitles on if you don't speak Russian.
I think both videos are staged.
