Great, they've launched 4 satellites.. only 597 more to go.. let's see.. at 4 per launch.. only a 150 launches to go.. What does a Soyuz cost per launch?

They're also talking about this whole thing costing billions of rubles, per year for a couple of years..

I suspect they'll get enough satellites launched to get themselves some secure communications and high(er) speed data and then suddenly all mention of this will be scrubbed from the official websites.
