Why this is not news here ?
Roscosmos is denouncing and recognizing that the western sanctions are delaying/holding back
the Russian space program.
So is this the wonderful "space development" ,that Russia government envision for the future of Russia in space , one where Russia progress and development ,will be dependent on the mood of the west.
Rogozin himself complained sometime ago, that they can build lots of space rockets , but nothing to put inside them because of the sanctions of the west in high tech hampers their space program advance.
Who is to blame for this bullshit?
if this the "vision" , Russia policy makers planned for Russia? One that their own space program
can't move properly for not being able to buy technology from Europe or US. ? If this is not proof ,
of massive incompetence of Russia government , in space ,then no idea what is . if they don't have talent inside to produce all the technology they need for space , then they could have moved long time ago and get it elsewhere , hire foreign talent , if they don't have them inside . Make no mistakes , all this problems , could have been avoided ,had russia invested properly in space and not diverted half of the budget of their space program ,but completely meaningless distractions , as sports olympics and olympics wargames , and endless victory parades for celebrating the great old past on top of the backwards development of the nation economy , that near half of russian budget of the nation comes according to his own economic minister from energy supplies and services , ie.. Russia energy industry. This numbers will now only increase with nordstream pipeline 2.
it doesn't take a genius to know where the top engineers and scientist will go ,
to where the money is ,which is not in space , since top cosmonauts have resigned their job to move to the energy industry.
Russia bad management , incredibly backwards economic model heavily focused on third world economic models ,just like venezuela and africa ,that depends heavily in sales from farming , mining and energy sales . This is very poor vision of their administration of the nation played a key role , in this shameful admission of russia top space industry today . Russia space program is delayed by the decades pf stagnation ,of its high tech industry ,by which its space industry is heavily dependent. From satellites electronic equipment ,special optics equipment ,to semiconductors to many other
things ,that russia alone can't do ,without the help of other nations ,that US influence , and sanctions to be removed in order to solve those problems.
Now is clear that all this fake image of Russia as a "sovereign and independent " successful nation ,was all propaganda by the government . Russia modern development is extremely dependent in the west , even in simple things ,like airliners to fly their people abroad ,depends heavily in technology that only is produced in the west ,since russia airliners have been spoken on their preference of already made jets from france or US ,than the experimental planes , the nation is attempting to create and still under test.
Russia’s missions to explore cosmos held back by mixture of Western sanctions and Covid-19 pandemic, country’s space agency warns
Russian rockets and satellites are facing fresh setbacks to getting off the ground, one of Moscow’s top space agency bosses has warned, citing the coronavirus crisis and a series of restrictions imposed on the country from abroad.
Speaking to TASS on Thursday, Maxim Ovchinnikov, the first deputy director of Roscosmos charged with overseeing the organization’s with a more than $2 billion budget, warned that a lack of supplies and logistical hurdles had grounded a number of launches.
“The coronavirus pandemic, slimmer resources to support our activities, and sanctions on buying components for rocket and space equipment have all had a negative impact on delivering our work,” he said.

i don't know how this is not news.. this should be scandalous ,admission of the failure of putin's
"substitution program" and proof of the massive incompetence of the Russian government in regaining independence of their space program" Is a leadership problem ,because part of the job of russia development of its leaders ,is to properly finance the nation development and find the correct people ,either in russia or hire them from abroad to get the correct people for the correct positions to get things done. This scandal sounds like more delays for Russia space program , and this not something to feel proud about , but some heads need to fall . Russia should not bother with space and admit they can't compete anymore there , and limit to just do experiments in the low orbit in earth. Russia era of space glory is over , and will never return back with such outdated government and administration.
people with any hopes for Russia to become anything "special in space" , im afraid will be very
disappointed, In the only thing Russia have shown to be good in space , is on propaganda , of how their future space program will be ,but this are things that will never be done , or never will take off ,and by the time they do , it will be too late ,a decade or more behind US and China space program ,for it to matter at all . The scientific talent do exist , but is the mediocre government they have in place , that holds back the entire nation modernization of its economy, because of the way the nation economy works , makes all their best people to move to the gas station that russia economy is . A major revolution will be need , and The "united russia "party of russia and its president will have to be removed ,and replaced , before Russia can become a true influential nation in earth and space and become a true leader in the world development ,that could become an alternative to the west.
