== Phase IV ===
Khrunichev has initiated development of a set of phase IV enhancements in order to keep pace with market demands and the mass growth trends of commercial satellites. The implementation of Phase IV Proton Briz-M enhancements were completed in 2016. The payload mass performance for phase IV has been increased to 6320 kg to a reference GTO orbit with 1500 m/s of residual [[delta V]] to GSO.<ref name="ilslaunch4">{{cite web|url=http://www.ilslaunch.com/launch-services/ils-proton-breeze-m-launch-vehicle/proton-heritage|title=Commercial Launch Heritage | Proton Rocket | International Launch Services|publisher=ilslaunch.com|access-date=13 September 2014}}</ref>
