T-25 minutes. Roscosmos is calling the vehicle Zenit-2SB, but the writing on the rocket says Zenit-3F.
It is actually a Zenit-2SB80 which equals Zenit-3F. This is in part done so that it fits on the launchers first stage as the text is put on at the factory in Ukraine.

Launcher Zenit-2SB80 + Upper stage Fregat-SB = Space Launch complex Zenit-3F.

By the way do you have the Serial Number for this Zenit-2SB80 so I pass off for the launch schedules???
