Gonets-M24, Gonets-M25, Gonets-M26 & Blits-M

Rokot/Briz-KM carried three Gonets-M store-and-forward communications satellites (Nos. 14-16) and the BLITS-M laser-ranging satellite from Plesetsk; BLITS-M failed to separate, and the flight was the final launch of the Rokot vehicle after Ukraine halted export of its guidance-system components to Russia.
