Overclocking block “frigate” production of the scientific and production association named after S.A. Lavochkina (part of Roscosmos State Corporation) ensures the effective implementation of all tasks to eliminate one or more spacecraft on working orbits or flying from the land of the trajectory. The entire removal process is carried out autonomously, without interference from Earth. The highest reliability, the possibility of launching from four cosmodromes and, almost, the ideal accuracy of elimination, give an accelerated block of indisputable competitive advantages over world counterparts.
