Unbelievable moment in Ukraine war!!

Post by CowboyTutt »

You can't make this stuff up!!!! Unbelievable!!!! -Tutt

"DRAMATIC video captures the moment a Russian surface-to-air missile system fires on itself in a bizarre malfunction.

In the footage, the missile can be seen shooting into the sky - before turning mid-air and slamming back into where it came from in an enormous explosion.

The short clip was reportedly shot in the Ukrainian city of Alchevsk in the Luhansk region, which is under the occupation of pro-Russian separatist forces and is on the front line of the war in Ukraine.

That's pretty pathetic when your own weapons don't like you.

Sabotage or not, you can bet that the other crews on the launchers are going to be puckered so tight that they will be constipated for a month.

Russian technology at it's finest! They need to launch more of these so the war will be over sooner!

Looking at the video it hit a ways away from the launch platform, I don't think they would have been hurt. Except for the people nearby of course...

I find it staggering that this is going on, and at an intensity that parts of the Ukraine looks the same as they did from battle damage in WW2.

I work with men who are from Russia, and also many from the Ukraine, as well as Russians who live in the Ukraine, and this is all a tragedy.

I remember a shot of an Iranian soldier following too close behind a buddy's RPG-7 in an assault on an Iraqi position in their "war before all the other Iraq wars". Ugly. Hard to figure out who to sympathize with in that war.... Not so hard in this one, but I agree that the ordinary people on both sides pay the real price, while the politicians mostly skate.
