They could build a launch platform in a shallow part of the North Western Black Sea or build a space base on the Eastern tip of Sebastopol and use a drone ship to catch the boosters in the Eastern Black Sea.
Si no son reutilizables pues ya son obsoletos sin haber comenzado, los cohetes de spacex son más grandes con mayor capacidad y reutilizables así que no se pueden ni de lejos comparar
Angara are heavy class rockets and in all major countries their primary purpose is to launch heavy military satellites into GEO orbits - its the same in the USA too ..... 95+ % of launched are the medium Falcon 9 which is roughly the size of the Soyuz rocket. Falcon Heavy launches are very rare. Other uses for heavy rockets are lifting spacestation modules of 20tons to LEO and for deep space missions. All quite rare launches. Interesting the RD-180 is derived from the RD-170 which was used for the boosters of the Buran project and were in fact designed to be used up to 10x so it is not impossible for them to be reusable - the question is why bother with such infrequent launches ? Angara is a military imperative for Russia simple as that
Research is ongoing but it's not an urgent need. Russia doesn't have the need yet as it doesn't launch that many satellites. It might be part of the deployment of their satellite internet in the early 30s.
@@rodrigo_dmatoss to make rockets returnable, you have to make their skin many times thicker (hence heavier), add legs, add return fuel, add the whole process to test & fix them. The idea that you save money doing that is 90% BS. The other 10% is valid in that the liquid propulsion engines are pricey, and more importantly the rocket landing experience is transferrable to interplanetary exploration, esp the Moon.
The RD 170 weighs 9.7 tons with a thrust of 730 tons.Falcon Raptor weighs 1.5 tons.With a thrust of 350 tons.Raptor engines with a thrust of 2000 tons.Ukraine made ZENIT rockets for the Russians.A sea launch was made.There are no closed-cycle engines with smoldering afterburning.They made RD 180 under the US patent for Atlas 5.A,they sold the patent for closed-loop engines
@@вовагерманов-ц3х what do you mean "RD 180 under a US patent"? RD 180 is half a RD 170, developed for Energia. It was the US buying the Soviet & Russian designed RD 180.

Why aren't the Russians making progress on returnable rockets?

@ Thank you.

Only reusable rockets will economically have any chance of success in the commercial payload market.
no
Based on... Elons wishful thinking?
