Full video of the failed Russian ICBM test.
Another video of the failed test and rocket explosion at the Yasny test site near Orenburg
Another version from Ukrainian OSINT analysts states, that the footage may show the launch of the UR-100N intercontinental ballistic missile with the "Avangard" unit.

Well, if the two continents are only 100 feet apart, it worked great.
For when Russia targets Sarah Palins house in Alaska?
Sadly, the technicians that would have been able to prevent this were blown up by drones during a failed meatwave offensive in Ukraine last year.
And all that unnecessary "maintenance" money was siphoned off to an offshore account in 1996.
Who would have thought soviet ICBMs were so fragile!
It seems any time I read about some big Soviet (USSR) research/innovation/accomplishment, the scientists and engineers making those achievement were.. Ukranian. Makes me wonder if Putin wants to conquer Ukraine to indenture all of that talent again because Russia has been stagnating since the collapse of the USSR.
That's just a theory of mine, take it as you will.

🤣
Haha. I had to do it. 😁
They should've consulted me. I have thousands of hours in KSP. They needed more struts. Possibly atleast two more boosters.
They probably haven't unlocked enough of the tech tree yet for those.
This is what happens when you use cheatcodes to progress.
You guys aren't using cheat codes irl?
Nah, i think it is aerodynamically unstable. Something with the weight balance. I would put 4, 8, 16 fins to stabilize it, until i finally put an overpowered engine because no use.
They should've just reverted to vehicle assembly.
daisy chains of boosters too. it needs that
Asparagus staging.
Fake news, this was a successful test for an extremely short range missile
/S
NATO propagandists will try to bury this footage because they don't have a hypersonic missile that can turn in such a small radius like this. Besides that, with this newly demonstrated capability, the odds that Ukraine could shoot down this missile drop just about all the way to zero!
No comerade, this video is actually fireworks in Russia. The Westoids are so jealous of our mighty fireworks they call it failed ICBM test.
I'm a big fan of the purple mushroom cloud really adds to the feng shui.
Good job Vlad! The spider is dead.
Why does everyone like to turn the camera away when the thing is about to blow up?
ICBM the cameraman
Tbh, bar the little twitch at the explosion point it was very good camera work. Not moving too much and keeping it all in frame
Looks like the same issue I remember seeing on a different launch, I think also Russian, where a tech installed a sensor upside down. That thing had no idea where it was or was going.
If only the missile knew where it wasn't
I think that was 2013 Proton M launch.
I tried looking up this video and at first AI kept adamantly demanding this is the proton m launch. But then a new convo and suddenly it agrees this is prolly 28 November ICBM test.
But yeah the 2013 proton m spiraled hard
Intra Courtyard Ballistic Missile
Do these guys not have an emergency destruct? Or do they like dropping missiles on their heads, you know, recreationally
Yea, it almost looked like the FTS attempted to activate, but failed to destroy the missile.
While this is just a test so I don't know if it'd be the same, actual nuclear ICBMs have absolutely no remote cancel or detonation options at all.
Introducing them would introduce the possibility of your enemy hacking them and detonating them to protect themselves, so they're completely out of human control once launched.
Call of Duty 4 lied to me
Afaik the Russians don't believe in flight termination procedures. Luckily, this gives us glorious fireballs like this one or the gorgeous Unscheduled rapid disassembly of the Proton M. Russians know how to make a show spark!
I got over a thousand hours in KSP. The issue is the pointy end has to point at space without tipping over.
It's the faring bug that's causing the payload to catch the wind. Some more fins at the bottom should help.
The answer is always more struts
I wasn't aware that Elon Musk was a consultant for the Russian Armed Forces.
Then you haven't been paying attention
Mouahaha it really warms my heart every time the kremlin tries to sabre rattle and everything just go haywire 😁
Neit, was not failure, was demonstration of missile extreme manouvering capability. Fligh ended in big bang, so was great success comrade!
4th October 1957: Launches first satellite into orbit.
19th August 1960: Launches first animals into orbit.
12th April 1961: Launches first human into orbit.
Some time passes.
Now: Whatever the fuck this was.
That patch of grass 15 m from the launch site really had it coming.
Anyone speak Russian? Why do they constantly sound like they're saying "yeah boy" I'm sure they're not saying it just it sounds very similar

ah thanks!
My Russian is somewhere in the bad-to-non-existent range, but я (ya) is a personal pronoun, "I".
Possibly "я боюсь" (ya boyus) "I'm afraid"?
@Malgas @Eyekaytee
They're saying "yebat'!", which literally means "to fuck" and practically something along the lines of "fucking hell!"
Why are we afraid of a failed state with the GDP of Florida?
because they have men willing to throw themselves at a drone, the west can barely keep up recruitment for any position in its defence forces
Nothing to see here - Is highly successful test of suicide missle!
Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!
Starts about 0:42. Filmers are far away.
i can't believe that the West hasn't conquered Russia during this shitshow. unbelievable.
"The West" has no desire to conquer Russia. That is a lie that Russians tell to justify their aggression.
yeah, that WAS true, until Russia has been waging war against us for over TEN YEARS!
Russia has created a self-fulfilling prophecy. they need to be dismantled, disarmed and re-educated.
What the fuck are you talking about. As if the actions of the Russian state are some democratic groundswell of aggression from the people.
i'm talking about reality. whether you like it or not, this is Russia's war. it doesn't stop at Putin. he is facilitated by the entire apparatus.
Yes, in the same way that Jahmal Kashoggi’s murder was facilitated by the ordinary citizens of Saudi Arabia, or chat control was facilitated by the ordinary citizens of EU nations, the ordinary Russian is responsible for the aggression towards its neighbors. Or are we perhaps talking about problems caused by politicians and oligarchs that don’t actually answer to anybody in a meaningful way
like it or not, the complacency of the masses leads to all of this.
if they're all so anti-Putin like you suggest, they'll understand that they'll need to be occupied and disarmed after all of this.
Yeah obviously my beef isn’t with disarmament it’s with your comment about re-education, which means torturing and killing people. So we’ve still gone nowhere in this discussion.
'The west' is barely holding itself together right now; conquering another nation, particularly one the size of Russia, isn't exactly in the cards at the moment.
You can't invade Russia. You might beat them enough that a settlement will be reached, and then, down the road, they'll invade another relatively small neighbor. Rinse and repeat.
The problem this time is that the "small" country is fighting back like a badger, and is supported, albeit dysfunctionally, by one of the coalitions capable of handing them their ass on a platter.
I've been saying this since before the Ukrain War, all bark no bite. Everything has a shelf life, and without maintenance that time period is even shorter. I can't image how well the technical components can hold up. Much less you account for things like spiders or rats dying over specific traces on the circuit board, shorting it out as soon as you apply power.
This goes for every nation that built a shit ton of weapons just to store them somewhere while the infrastructure decays. Is the infrastructure really there for a nuclear response, or is it all a game of chicken?
I like the idea that the only thing that has stopped Russia from starting world war 3 is their poor maintenance. If the occasionally swept up, we'd all be floating ash right now.
I recently got back from the Smithsonian affiliate Atomic Testing Museum. Two things caught my eye in the exhibits that gave me a similar realization about Russian nuclear readiness.
#1 The USA is currently undergoing a nuclear warhead modernization program refurbishing the existing inventory of nuclear warheads and the result of this "will extend the life of the warhead by as much as 25 to 30 years". I understand this to mean that the useful life of a nuclear warhead sitting on the shelf is less than 30 years. That means nearly 100% of the warheads that were ready to use when I was born are now non-viable, unless they've undergone refurbishment sometime in my lifetime.
#2 at its peak count, the USA has had about 31,000 nuclear warheads at one time. Over the many years since, that number has been reduced to about 2,500 in inventory right now. There are an additional 2000 warheads that are not considered "ready to go" that are schedule to be dismantled and disposed of.
The treaties reducing nuclear warhead stockpiles wasn't about peace, it was about cost! The US government, even with its incredibly high budgets decided to drop from 31,000 warheads to just 2500 because they are just so expensive to maintain, which it has carried on with the maintenance of the warhead.
Now, Russia has just a tiny fraction of the USA's military budget, and much more corruption. What are the chance any of Russian's warhead have been maintained? If the USA's warheads only have a 30 year shelf life, and Russia's are the same, that would mean that an unmaintained warhead would have had to be be built in the early 1990s (right when the Soviet Union was collapsing), which doesn't seem likely.
This leads me to guess that the vast majority of Russia's current warhead stockpile probably don't work!
Elon Musk likes to praise Putin and in return, Putin fired a missile SpaceX style.
i mean that's what happens when fairings are replaced with wood
Looks successful to me.
If the fire end starts pointing towards space, you are having a bad problem and will not be going to space today
Oh great. Now the guy with a massive nuclear arsenal has something to prove.
Smoke is a funky colour
nitrogen tetroxide and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine pair, better known as amyl and heptyl.
Some rather nasty stuff, highly carcinogenic and poisonous.
I guess I will sleep better at night¿
If this was a SpaceX clip, the camera would cut to cheering employees.
I wonder how many Russians “fell” out of a window because of this?…
I dunno, it looked pretty good to me.
Yeeeeh baahhht!
«Даму нахуй» haha
