Evidence & current status

Rechecked 21 September 2026: payload remains 500 kg in the headline versus 400 kg in prose; travel range has opposing inequality signs. These conflicts remain explicit. Product system list now records a satellite-based control option. Ratel M is separately profiled rather than merged.
