The source spoke about plans to expand the GLONASS system in 2021

The source told about the expected replenishment of the orbital group of the GLONASS system in 2021

MOSCOW, June 18 - RIA Novosti.
<snip>
According to him, it is planned to complete the production of the Glonass-K satellite with number 16 in July, but it will be launched only after testing a similar device with number 15 in orbit, which is scheduled to be completed in October.

according to launch calendar in NK forum no Glonass launch in 2021.

Isn't Glonass a "military" payload and thus under the new FSB rules even stating it's launch date could put the person in legal troubles? What I mean is that we might start to loose NK as a source for anything remotely military.

not dead yet,
tests again with the normal channel 00, but not usable,
testing... testing... testing... K 701 reloaded

[GWR64]

Glonass-K 705 went into operation yesterday.
on slot 11, channel 00

Slot 16 (736) is still dead

[GWR64]

hmm, I think this clock is slightly wrong.
Glonass K 705 in maintenance.

Glonass K 705 has been back in operation for a few days.

In general, the problems with the atomic clocks on the unpressurized Glonass-K1 still seem to have not been completely solved. The same problems exist on the 706 too.
And Glonass-K 707 is still in test operation after 15 months, although its position is close to the 16 year old Glonass-M 719,
whose presumably last atomic clock is no longer that good.
