Speaking during a meeting with Russian servicemen, Putin said the system is already operational and that the key technological challenges have been overcome.According to the Russian president, the country recently launched another 16 satellites to strengthen the constellation. He acknowledged that the current number of satellites remains insufficient but stressed that expansion is ongoing."The most important thing is that the problem has been solved technologically and intellectually. The task now is to expand the satellite constellation, and we will continue this work," Putin said.The remarks came in response to a serviceman's request for Russia to develop an alternative to SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet network. Putin maintained that Russia has already achieved that goal and is now focused on increasing the number of satellites in orbit to improve the system's coverage and capabilities.
