Wish Roscosmos congratulations on a successful launch

Both Luna 25 and Chandrayaan 3 are aiming for landing on South pole, best of luck to both.

Is there any update from Roscosmos about the landing timeline?

Is there any update from Roscosmos about the landing timeline?

As far as i now, they will first make some orbits and check the landing site and maybe land on an alternative site. So at this point they can't give an exact timeline.

Luna-25 has entered the moons orbit. All systems are working as intended.

I read India's rover will land first

Why are you lying deliberately. Everyone knows the Russian lander is going to land a day before India's attempt as it has been announced a number of times.
This is not a race. If it was a race then the US and Russia won it many decades ago.

I had no intention to lie or never lie, Russia is friend and will be equally happy with their success...i just read somewhere so commented...but more news are coming out even in Indian media that Luna may land a day or two days before

The landings have been PREPLANNED months ago. Everyone who has even a modicum of knowledge about the 2 launches have been aware the Russian lander will land first followed by the Indian one. This has been known long before the launches.

Come on you don't have to be so harsh

With so much news going around, one tends to get confused as well. Either way felt sad for Russians, their once glorious space programs has been failing badly for few decades now.

As a brotherly nation am happy they are doing this.
