Anatoly Kuzin, deputy general director of the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center, was reported by the ITAR-TASS news agency as saying the center is working on a three-stage rocket capable of lifting 110 tons of payload into low-Earth orbit and providing materials for assembling future space stations there.

IIRC, the Saturn V had a capability of 103 tonnes into LEO? This thing is supposed to be bigger than the Saturn V?

The Saturn V could lift some 150 tons into LEO.

130-140, depending on who you talk to. Energiya at 100, N-1 at 95.

The biggest standard Angara is listed here:

I am glad that there is more talk about HLLVs.
