Is there any chance that any of the online news channels might cover it, or (unlikely) if there will be a webcast?

I don't think so, this is a military launch.

That is strange. Gonets satellites - except for the first two prototypes - were always launched as Gonets. Perhaps we will see a similar confusion as with the latest Raduga launch.

Hi Gunter
I think that will explain to you the Gonets' puzzle.
Previous launch of Gonets-M satellite, which was the first one in the series of modified spacecraft of the Gonets series, took place in December 2005 (Rodnik). At the time appeared that the Gonets-D1M system, which it started, would be a civilian counterpart of the military Strela-3 system. Accordingly, that satellite did not receive a Cosmos designation. This time, however, the new satellites seem to have both kinds of names - Gonets-M No.2, No. 3, and No. 4 as well as Cosmos ones.

I am agree with the views of ASTUTE user and I believe that Gonets' puzzle.Previous launch of Gonets-M satellite, which was the first one in the series of modified spacecraft of the Gonets series, took place in December 2005 (Rodnik).

I can't see any "name puzzle". Military just want to have all credits from success of those sats and the launch, so they put it in the their name-list. Just a little bureaucracy stuff.

Not only get all credits, but a Cosmos name is a best cover if something goes wrong.

According to Novosti kosmonavtiki forum, OAO ISS (former NPO PM) enterprise has officially informed Novosti kosmonavtiki magazine that Kosmos-2437, Kosmos-2438 and Kosmos-2439 are not Gonets-M satellites.
I have changed the name of this thread for avoidance of confusion.

Then they are most likely Rodnik satellites (military Gonets-M versions), or older Strela-3.

Hi!
It's very odd . I've visited Space-track site just to compare orbital parameters of both Rodnik (Cosmos 2416) and Cosmos-2437, Cosmos-2438 and Cosmos-2439. As a matter of course they are similar.
The US strategic command deleted from their designation figures 2437, 2438, 2439. Now they are just Cosmos.
Also Their ID numbers were changed. Cosmos 2437 was under 32953. Now It's the YUBILEINY sat.
