I know there isn’t a lot of information available yet, but I’m not above playing Monday morning quarterback. What do you think about this incident?

Russianspaceweb.com has some interesting info on the probe.

CBC has a decent article that doesn’t seem to be paywalled.

    Sucks for them, will for sure delay future missions like Luna-26 and Luna-27. India’s ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 is set to land near the lunar south pole.

      I read a rumor that the Chandrayaan-3 schedule was part of the cause of the crash. Allegedly, Roscosmos knew their probe had a problem which would take time to resolve, but there was political pressure to hurry up and land before Chandrayaan-3 stole the spotlight. Seems totally plausible.
