Has anyone looked at the orbit? Maybe this is an “intentional” mistake. It wouldn’t be the first time they “accidentally” put a satellite into a different orbit so it would end up passing over a certain place.
Damn Russian engines.
I seriously don’t believe that it was “left” in this orbit. I suspect that it is now in an inclined orbit of 28 degrees which, if so, doesn’t allow it to go over much of the earth.
