If you go to that link and scroll north west, just above the runway, you can see an Ilyushin Il-18 outside one of Ilyushins hangars - it ain't ever going anywhere now that the runway is closed.

You can also see the aircraft inside the small Sukhoi museum - scroll down to the south east.

All the old design bureaux were clustered round Khodynka - Mikoyan, Sukhou, Ilyushin, Tupolev etc.

Yakovlev were a bit further away - on the opposite side of Leningradski Prospekt.

The old Zhukovsky Academy is just opposite - as is the Russian AF Engineering academy - on Nesterov street.

The whole area is steeped in the history of Soviet Aviation - all sadly now being built over with hi-rise apartments !!

Nobody closed nothing. Delayed - yes. Answers in the General Discussion topic http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums...rograms/page12

sepheronx: the guy talks about the existing Constellation. Designers received new specification and shoul present results this autum. However we don't know if the bandwidth issue will be solved. Constellation wil not get into service before these major issues will be solved. BMD-4 same thing the old one from 2004.

It is to early to talk about Burlak as R+D is not finished...

here's the take on this situation by a famous mil blogger... he also is of the opinion that popovkin makes little sense and seldom knows what he's talking about (in Russian):

-I would say that a Glonass coordinate system is better than nothing at all. It may not be as effective and comfortable as a real GPS based navigation and control system but its also a lot cheaper. Nothing worrying there IMO.

I don't know where you got it from that GLONASS is inferior to GPS; if anything it will be slightly better as the satellites are newer. Please stop posting BS just because Europe doesn't have a GPS constellation of its own.

problem is not so much with GLONASS right now but with lack of mass produced quality receivers for mil or civ use... other than that GLONASS is as capable as the GPS... with full constellation of sats required to cover the whole Earth coming online soon ut should be fully operational.. Russia is fully covered at this point afaik

I am not sure how up-to-date this is, but here's an idea from late 2009:
Attachment 120315
Afaik min. 3 satellites is needed for military purposes.
