Not true. The differences are much lower than with other targets, but there are lower and higher-cost times to go there, and right now is the lowest-cost window to go this year. For a lot of rockets this is irrelevant, but the Indian lander had such a puny transfer stage they deliberately delayed for it. I don't know about the Russian one.

In Moons case the day is almost the length of a Earths month. India timed the landing to start of the lunar day to get most out of their solar panels.

Apparently the Russian Telegram story is that the helicopter got lost, somehow decided that Poltava was a safe airbase for them, landed and was captured with 2 crew deaths

the Ukrainian story is that it was a defection set up by the GUR

pick whichever story you prefer, both ways Ukraine ends up up a helicopter

Ach, good point. Forgot about the tidally locked long day. Yeah, that would definitely limit your launch window for a specific landing area. I was thinking more of just the "Get into orbit" phase, but yeah--no sense leaving it parked there when you could just time the launch better.

You can do some crazy Expanse-course-plotting stuff with a tiny injection motor, if you have the patience for it.

Edit: ^^ Exactly. You can take fuel-efficient long treks to it or you can come in burning. In Russia's case, they just hit the emergency brake from ludicrous speed and held it too long so their deceleration into captured orbit became a lithobraking trajectory.

Lithobraking is by far the fastest method. You can't argue with results!
