In the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle, compared with the Soyuz-2.1a variant, the third-stage engine is the RD-0124 developed by KB Khimavtomatiki, with increased specific impulse up to 359 s and improved controllability through the ability to change the thrust vector of the main chambers instead of using low-efficiency steering nozzles on turbine exhaust ('crumpled') gas.post author · statementIts drawbacks stem from its advantages: the new engine makes the modification more expensive due to the need to recoup R&D costs, it is noticeably more material-intensive, and it does not allow the successful launch statistics of Soyuz-U and Soyuz-FG to be extended to this modification of the rocket.post author · statementThe explosion was caused by a jet aircraft.zaborzp · allegationThree tankers carrying Russian diesel changed course and are not heading to US ports.mornovosti · statementSwitching part of generation from liquid fuel to natural gas lets Senegal reduce dependence on more expensive oil products and cut emissions from power generation.shipping00 · statementSeparate exceptions are provided for aviation fuel used in research, testing and preparation for industrial production; this requires approval from the authorized body, a contract with a specialized organization and documents indicating the required volume of fuel.kapitalkz · statement
