August 19, 1999 Russians launch military satelliteMOSCOW (CNN) -- Russia successfully launched a military satellite from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northwest Russia, a news report said Thursday. The Cosmos-2365 satellite lifted off on Wednesday night and was put into orbit by a Soyuz-U rocket, the Strategic Rocket Forces told the Interfax news agency. No other details were provided. In recent years, Russia's military has put up far fewer satellites than previously because of the government's chronic money shortages.
