The failure being specific to the Progress stack and not the Soyuz
itself would explain that.

I have been wondering, why have there been so many progress failures over
the past few years but not failures on soyuz launches? My understanding is
that they were nearly identical - which would imply it is only blind luck
that all human missions in the last 5 years have been successful.

Kinda depressing that a company that has been building rockets for so long
still has problems... Rockets aren't easy. glad these failures have been
with cargo not humans.
