Fortunately, all the equipment of the rocket is still operating normally, and the Glonass-M navigation satellite is successfully put into the established orbit. The lightning strike was relatively rare when the rocket was launched, but when the "Saturn 5" rocket launched Apollo 12 in 1969, it was twice hit by lightning...
