Re: Glonass Regains Full Operational Capability
You're right, that is news. If I remember right, that 24 satellite constellation is actually a larger number than what they were planning years ago (might be able to find the thread with a search). I'm betting there is redundancy built into the system with those numbers.

Your right this really needs it's own thread.

China will have 12 up by next year with a total of 35 by 2020, that's nearly 60 birds in just Russia and China's hands.
The bottom line is they will have many sets of eyes and precision guided munitions when our birds go down.

Chinese company plan to have 60 imaging satellites with live video operational by 2020
Jilin 1 satellite : Live video from space
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8H00lAboMs
420kg Jilin-1A optical satellite is providing images of a maximum full colour
resolution of 0.72 metres and 2.88m multispectral resolution.
this is just a part of Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co’s ambitious plan to
have 60 satellites operational by 2020, allowing 30-minute revisit capability
anywhere around the globe, and 138 satellites in service by 2030, thereby increasing
temporal resolution to ten minute revisits.
Domestic competition
The Jilin satellites can expect tough domestic competition, however. Go Taikonauts,
a team producing detailed, independent periodic reporting on China’s space-related
activities, note that a new initiative spurred by the China Aerospace Science and
Technology Corporation (CASC), the main contractor for the Chinese space programme,
will soon take off.
The planned constellation referred to as “16+4+4+X” will consist of sixteen 0.5 m
resolution optical satellites, four high-end optical satellites, four microwave (radar)
satellites and several video and hyperspectral birds. The first two 0.5m resolution
optical satellites, Gaojing-1 and Gaojing-2, are expected to launch late this year.
