https://ria.ru/20211220/glonass-1764483094.htmlThe current plan is to launch the first Glonass-K2 satellite in the second quarter of 2022 followed by the second Glonass-K2 satellite in the following quarter. It was also added that the final Glonass-M satellite currently in reserve will most likely be launched in the first quarter.
Satellite is being taken out of storage and being readied for a launch in March 2022.https://tass.ru/kosmos/13330673
"At the moment, the last of the ground reserve, the Glonass-M satellite, has been removed from storage. Technologically, it will be ready for launch from mid-March," the agency's source said.

This is for the impact of the third stage in the Pacific. The coordinates are very similar to those for Glonass launches. If this is indeed for a Glonass, it is not quite clear for which one. Glonass-K2 nr. 13L was supposed to fly before the end of the year, but was still undergoing final tests at ISS Reshetnev in late October, so the question is if it could have been shipped to Plesetsk and readied for launch since then. Another possible candidate is Glonass-M nr. 61L.

Quote from: Alter Sachse on 11/19/2022 11:02 am15:00 to 17:30 is UTC ?The times in the NOTAMs are usually UTC, but impact zone announcements for the first and second stages published in the Russian press in recent days give the window as 17:00 to 19:30 Moscow time, which corresponds to 14:00-16:30 UTC. The primary launch date is November 27, with November 28, 29 and 30 as back-up dates. The impact zones will be in the Komi republic (1st stage) and the Tyumen region (2nd stage). These are for launches into 63-64° inclination orbits and are used not only by Glonass, but also by Tundra and Meridian. However, the coordinates given for the third stage impact zone in the Pacific are unique to Glonass, so that would still seem to be the payload. It is still unclear though which Glonass is going up. There is conflicting information on the whereabouts of Glonass-M nr. 61L. There appears to have been a report (now removed) on the ISS Reshetnev website that the satellite had been shipped to Plesetsk, but an ISS Reshetnev insider on the NK forum claims it is still at the factory. Best guess right now is Glonass-K2 nr. 13L, but awaiting further information.

Nothing yet? Possibly delayed?
If launch is tomorrow, November 28, how much earlier or later will the time of day of launch be?(Z = Zulu = UTC. 15:00 UTC = the opening of the daily NOTAM window. I had to edit the title to fit the character limit.)
The official announcement about this launch did not contain a usual confirmation that ground assets began tracking the ascending vehicle around two minutes after the liftoff.
Following military launches, Russian official media normally also issue a second communique soon after the mission reaches an initial orbit confirming that fact, but looks like not in this case...
https://twitter.com/MichaelAshura/status/1597272016541057024?cxt=HHwWgIDQufab06osAAAAis this really a recent video ?But that would be LC 43/4.
If the photos are indeed from today's launch, so the middle patch looks like the GLONASS one.
No, it is standard Space Forces patch.
Now we have to wait for the orbital elements to see what was launched today...
Quote from: Alter Sachse on 11/28/2022 06:29 pmNow we have to wait for the orbital elements to see what was launched today...Little doubt now that this is the final Glonass-M. The only novelty is that it was not officially announced as a Glonass in the Ministry of Defense press releases, even though this is a dual military-civilian satellite. Presumably part of some new policy to further restrict the amount of information released on military launches.Some video of the launch is here:https://rutube.ru/video/d6527e0e30a43b6e26c6b5f8c7e103a4/
The official announcement from the Russian Ministry of Defense issued several hours after liftoff on November 28 said that ground control had established and maintained reliable telemetry communications with the satellite and all its systems functioned nominally.
