This is one of the very few examples of the torus shaped external fuel tank on the largest variant of the Fregat upper stage, the Fregat-SB. This example launched the (now defunct after successful mission) Spektr-R radio telescope in July 2011.https://twitter.com/18SPCS/status/1259200117296386055 …

The Fregat-SB used a torus shaped external/jettisonable fuel tank to increase its capability. It was used 4 times with the Zenit rocket from Baikonur as the Zenit-3F variant, and is also featured in the main propulsion module of the ill-fated Fobos-Grunt mission S/C.
