At various wavelengths there is negligible attenuation of a signal from CO2, H2O etc.... Another benefit of a celestial auto-tracker is that apart from position to high accuracy. it could give a complete stable platform output, 3D attitude without any gyros, 3D velocity vectors, and absolute position without interference and with tolerance to jamming.
Separately, the Russian's seem to be only interested in their domestic consumers of propaganda now, or they are heading towards a national bi-polar personality disorder... the dissonance with reality is painful to watch.
I would recommend an extended course of Haldol or similar for the occupants of the Kremlin to assist their return to reality.
