Sarmat blew up during launch: Putin resigned as the head of "Roscosmos" Borisova

He changed Dmitry Rogozin in this position, who headed the State Corporation for four years. Russia reports that most employees were not aware of the decision to change the head of the State Corporation by the last moment. The reason for this was the "uncertainty with the parameters of the implementation of the project of the National Space Center in Moscow, which is built on the territory of the Khrunichev DKNPC.

" "The cost of construction is increasing, accordingly, the distribution of territories is changing and the issue of future operating costs arises," the insider said. The possible resignation of Borisov was discussed from the fall of 2024. The last meeting of Borisov with Putin, which was reported by the Kremlin, took place in November 2024. It was devoted to the preparation of the National Space Activities. At the same time in the Kremlin the resignation of Borisov was already commented.

Dmitry Peskov stated that there were no claims to the activity of Yuri Borisov as the head of "Roscosmos" in the Kremlin. "Rotation is carried out, corporations need to be developed dynamically, so rotation occurs," he said at a briefing for the press. Prior to his arrival in Roscosmos, Borismov, since 2011, oversees the State Rearmed Program-first as the Deputy Chairman of the Military-Industrial Commission, then as Deputy Minister of Defense, and subsequently as a Viceremier.

Under his reign, the Russian defense-industrial complex (OPC) received 2 trillion rubles annually and had to produce divisions of new Tanks "Armat", a new strategic bomber, 600 aircraft and a thousand helicopters, as well as bring a share of modern weapons to 70%by 2020. However, a full -scale war against Ukraine showed that Borisov failed the task - the Russian army invaded the country with old equipment. And no one saw the Armata tank on the battlefield.

In the first full year as the head of "Roscosmos" Yuri Borisov declared the failure of the state plan for space launches. In 2023, the Space State Corporation made only 19 launches, which is 3 less than in the first year of a full -scale war in Ukraine. Compared to the pre-war 2021, the number of launches decreased by a quarter, and if compared to the early 2000s-almost twice. The State Corporation performed fewer launches only in 2020 against the background of the coronavirus pandemic.

Yuri Borisov justified the failures of US sanctions that "cut off corporation from foreign customers and partners. " Also, the first Russian space mission for the month-the Luna-25 station, which has been prepared for more than 10 years, crashed during an attempt to fit. At the same time, Borisov himself called this experience "invaluable" and wrote off the failure for a 50-year break in the research program.

Another failure was the launch of the Russian rocket "Sarmat" on the starting platform of the Space Stongerome Plesetsk. She exploded during the trials, destroying the starting mine and leaving a huge crater. Dmitry Bakanov, who was replaced by Yuri Borisov, was born in 1985, by education - an economist. Previously, he held the position of Deputy Minister of Transport, where he was engaged in "digital transformation". And from 2011 to 2019 he managed the company "Satellite System" Gonnets ".
