Russian space program

Roscosmos argues that using our nuclear engine we can fly to Mars and back in 2-3 months. Current technology requires 2 years.
i'm not jealous of russian achievements in space industry , but nuclear propulsion was proposed before and americans are now saying they have nano-emitters that can propell a spacecraft , i honestly don't know how much of it is propaganda ,

But that Agari missile you posted i think it's for india

"Angara" is her name. This is the newest Russian rocket which will eventually replace all other types of Russian rockets including manned one. It will be launched from Russian territory from newest cosmodrom "Vostochnyi" that will be ready in 2015. India nothing to do with it.
Creating a nuclear engine for spacecraft - a new milestone in space. This event is comparable in importance with the flight of Gagarin. Completely new level.
 
Russia to Launch New Heavy-Lift Angara Rocket in December | Business | The Moscow Times

Having managed to launch its first rocket of post-Soviet design in July, Russia is now getting ready to test a beefed-up version of the vehicle by the end of the year, thereby highlighting the Russian space industry's position as a major global player.

Preparations for the launch, which is scheduled for the end of December, are already under way at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome near Arkhangelsk, the head of Russia's air and space defense forces, Lieutenant General Alexander Golovko, was quoted as saying Wednesday by Interfax.

Called Angara, the new rocket was commissioned in the early 1990s, when Russian space officials were concerned that an independent Ukraine might withhold deliveries of vital components used in the construction of Russian rockets like the Proton.

The Angara rocket launched successfully on July 9, nearly two weeks after the cancellation of the first attempt, which was derailed by a leaky pressure valve.

The rocket's design means that it can be attached to the side of its core booster, which allows the vehicle's lifting capacity to be tailored to the weight of its payload.

In this way, the Angara rocket follows the economical approach to rocket design currently employed by U.S-based commercial launch company SpaceX, which is developing a heavy launch vehicle based on its already proven Falcon-9 rocket. The two vehicles will compete on the global commercial launch market.

Are Russians going to build any shuttle or not and stop using those sling shots to space??

No mods here!?

I think @vostok can be a perfect moderator!

No more Russian if you don't care about Russian section!
 

Google satellite are not real time. They take images over long duration, form the bigger picture by adding the images. Military satellites working in real time need overall coverage area more than resolution, so as to not miss any vital information due to lack of coverage.
