Ah, that cryogenic stage was meant to be our reliable ride to geostationary orbit—the GSLV’s heart, building which taught us patience through two decades of tech denial. The cancelled Russian deal? It denied us the ready-made Kvant engines, sure, but also denied my company a timely INSAT launch, making us lease foreign transponders at a cost that still makes my budget *kazar*. So from where I stand, it denied us not just an engine, but our own orbital independence when we needed it most.
