At first sight this looks more like a Molniya communications satellite
orbit than the one used by satellites in the Oko early-warning system
(they're the ones which are normally assigned Cosmos numbers). The
argument of perigee for a semi-synchronous Cosmos satellite is usually
around 315 degrees.

Stuart
