A whole 16 years
Roscosmos General Director Yuri Borisov said that the Luna-25 automatic station took too long to create. This took 2-3 times more time than it should have.
“Luna-25 took 16 years to create – this is an unacceptably long time. This is primarily due to irregular financing. This kind of experiment and work must be started and completed within a foreseeable time frame. This should be no more than 5-7 years. But stretching out experiments for such a period is simply unacceptable,” he noted in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

He noted that in the process of working on Luna-25, several generations of developers changed. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin promised to continue supporting the lunar program in the Russian Federation, despite the destruction of Luna-25.
Let us remind you that the launch of Luna-25 took place on August 11 from Vostochny. On August 20, Roscosmos announced that the station had ceased to exist.
