Ah yes, it's on the internet, so it must be American.

Kosmodrom Baikonur (located in Kazakhstan) is the primary launch site of Roskosmos (Russia)
The Proton is a Soviet-made heavy launch rocket, still used today (not related to Rocket Lab's Electron and Neutron families (which are also not American))
GLONASS is the Soviet/Russian equivalent of the GPS

I think it's safe to say that the guy did not land a job at NASA.

Didn't nasa make the same mistake ? Because I remember that they put arrows on the slots because someone put a sensor upside down.

I can't recall anything like that. The only other crash I remember that was caused by a sensor was the Schiaparelli lander, and it was an ESA mission.

I remember it from a youtube video from one of those engineering channels (might have been "real engineering") probably a year ago. I only remember it because I thought "wow they have to have so many safeties" and that it is good to draw on parts and such instead of just relying on technical drawings.

I don't remember, but it might not have crashed (multiple sensors), and it might not have had a latch/notch. But it was a long time ago.

Edit: I still remember the big yellow arrow.
