We've been seeing a lot of old Soviet Tselina-D/Ikar sigint satellites reenter lately. 68 were launched from 1970 to 1992.
The plot shows their orbital altitude vs time, with approximate dates of solar maxima overlaid in red. You can see how reentry dates are grouped near the maxima.
Oje, da hast du dir einen Schwurbler eingetreten. Ab in die Blockhütte!
