My question is, the russians need it? One would've presumed they had their own satelites for military purposes. But this 21st century has also taught me never to assume leaders know what they are doing.

Russian used to build all of their military gear, all reverse engineered from western stuff. Now they are scavenging parts from consumer goods to make missiles and what have you. So maybe they haven't kept pace with satelite stuff?
