99.7% success rate is still pretty damn impressive.
And still unmatched.
What other launch system comes close?
Other than Soyuz I don't think any other rocket has flown enough times to justify the comparison.
I'd include the R-7 family (Soyuz, Molniya, Voskhod, etc.), Proton, and Space Shuttle.
Hopefully they get a longer streak over the next 2 years after finding and fixing whatever caused this and returning to flight.
