Soyuz-FG's long road to retirement
https://www.russianspaceweb.com/soyuz-fg.html
The 21st century version of the legendary Russian Soyuz rocket family, which carries cosmonauts into orbit, has the designation Soyuz-FG, where "FG" stands for "forsunochnaya golovka" -- Russian for the injector head. It was the main component which had gotten a makeover when the Soyuz-FG variant was introduced in 2001. Despite much more significant improvements in the works, the Soyuz-FG's working career then span over nearly two decades.
