Glonass K2 or Kupol nr. 6 ?

https://komiinform.ru/news/241502/
First-stage drop zone announced for the Komi republic. Launch window 9.00-12.00 Moscow time (6.00-9.00 UTC). This drop zone has earlier been announced for both Glonass and Kupol/EKS launches (they are launched into nearly the same inclination), so it's not yet clear which of the two will fly on November 2. Both have been confirmed for launch before the end of the year.

Four launches from Plesetsk in less than a month. That's been a long time.

It looks like the payload is Kupol. An ISS Reshetnev insider writes on the NK forum that Glonass K2 is still undergoing ground tests.

Alter Sachse didn't say a launch occured at 6:34 UTC today (with Kupol 1 and 2), he said that by the past Kupol 1 and 2 were launched at 6:34 UTC, to compare with 06:39 UTC announced for Kupol 6  ;)

I have inferred a launch time of 06:39 UTC, adding 39 minutes to the NOTAM window start time, as was the case for Kupol N°5. This T0 has still to be confirmed

If there was still any doubt left about the nature of the payload (Glonass-K2 or Kupol), the Pacific Ocean NOTAMs have eliminated that. The co-ordinates match those of earlier Kupol launches. For Glonass launches the latitude is further south, around 62°S.

And satellite separation was nominal: https://ria.ru/20221102/sputnik-1828712005.html

I see that they have switched from the Z-mark to the equally notorious V-mark...
