Kosmos-305 (E-8-5 No. 404) suffered the same fate as Kosmos-300 in the following month's launch window. Various reports claimed that the Blok-D disintegrated or that the payload may have entered a high orbit, but the modern consensus seems to be that the second burn was cut short and occurred at the wrong orientation, with rapid reentry of the payload and Blok-D.
