"At Baikonur, and I believe that we have agreed with our Kazakhstani friends, the Baiterek complex will be deployed using the Soyuz-5 rocket," ROS Novosti quoted Dmitry Rogozin as the head of Roscosmos.

He specified that most likely a new Soyuz-6 middle-class missile will be created on the basis of this missile.

On September 1, it was reported that NPO Energomash, which is part of the Roskosmos structure, is starting to manufacture RD-171MV liquid-propellant rocket engines.
