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?
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.
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.
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.
And all that unnecessary “maintenance” money was siphoned off to an offshore account in 1996.
Who would have thought soviet ICBMs were so fragile!
🌻
🤣
Haha. I had to do it. 😁
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.
Intra Courtyard Ballistic Missile
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
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
Why does everyone like to turn the camera away when the thing is about to blow up?
ICBM the cameraman
Probably concentrating on if they need to do some evasive action to survive.
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
I wasn’t aware that Elon Musk was a consultant for the Russian Armed Forces.
Then you haven’t been paying attention
oh my, I think that might be one “oopsie” and even possibly a “daisy”.
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.
Do these guys not have an emergency destruct? Or do they like dropping missiles on their heads, you know, recreationally
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
Yea, it almost looked like the FTS attempted to activate, but failed to destroy the missile.
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!
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”?
They’re saying “yebat’!”, which literally means “to fuck” and practically something along the lines of “fucking hell!”
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.
