Actually it's a US-Russian private enterprise (ILS) which is driving the
modernization (read cost-cuttings) of the Proton-M... as they have the
exclusive commercial launch rights. Failures started to add up since 2007.
Guantanamo would be more fitting today.

No kidding. Talk about embarrassing. I guess in the good old days, that
project manager would be packing his teacup to go spilt rocks in siberia

Note to self, Not getting on any Russian made rockets any time soon.
At least the rockets were unmanned, and hopefully no one on the ground
was hurt!
Sounds like this isn't the first time this happened, and it isn't the
first time they lost three Glonass birds. Wonder how much money was lost
in just the 6 satellites blown up thus far. It may be a while before I
start looking for any glonass receiver hardware.
