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!

🤣
Haha. I had to do it. 😁
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
Intra Courtyard Ballistic Missile
I wasn’t aware that Elon Musk was a consultant for the Russian Armed Forces.
Then you haven’t been paying attention
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.
Neit, was not failure, was demonstration of missile extreme manouvering capability. Fligh ended in big bang, so was great success comrade!
Mouahaha it really warms my heart every time the kremlin tries to sabre rattle and everything just go haywire 😁
Why are we afraid of a failed state with the GDP of Florida?
Nothing to see here - Is highly successful test of suicide missle!
Where’s the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!
How about spending less time saber rattling and more time fixing your 3rd world shithole of country of cowards.
