The first test launch of those conical payloads from the Uragans were really to put some electronics, and an inertial guidance system to at least stabilize the flight and keep it as straight as possible (there's horizontal velocity yes, but tries to keep it from diltering off course). We will look into actually hitting something in the next few launches. Also, IF no one objects, I will set the weight to about 8 tonnes, including the ramjet and rocket engine, forming a two stage missile. Essentially an MIRV without a warhead, yet.

As for our GLOSSNASS sats, they also use a high precision Cesium and Rubidium clocks matched against a Cesium clock in the UCSR and Byzantium, though we might look into replacing it with a portable Cesium fountain clock maybe in a few years time thereabouts.

Cool. Do bear in mind that if they heard the gunfire, they'll have started maneuvering themselves in that general direction, which may put them close enough to intercept the VIPs after a bit of searching once the intel comes in from the Echelon.

I've been really busy in the last couple of days, so I decided to end the election thing sooner. It was dragging on for too long anyway.

The UCSR has a new President and I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Victory Celebration will be held in Stanislavgrad. Drinks are on me. :D

No new naval procurement spending is planned for 2015. We already have trouble financing the four final Yer Moms without getting even more into debt.

I guess some industries are going to weep a bit. Then again, I may consider some modernization packages for my existing ships :)
