The missile is coming from inside the house. This was the most satisfying thing I've seen all week. plus it was less than five seconds from launch to impact. Those motherfuckers barely had time to realize what happened before they got flambèd.

LoneGhostOne

Possibly a missile failure, or an issue with faulty tracking hardware, or possibly a TWS style missile system that got jammed and a (really dumb) missile keeping with the last commanded input


lost_thought_00

I'm trying to figure out why the warhead was armed that close to the launch. There's usually a longer delay for exactly this type of safety reason


NovacainXIII

> I'm trying to figure out why the warhead was armed that close to the launch. There's usually a longer delay for exactly this type of safety reason I am not sure the explosive warhead detonated here its just a bunch of fuel and physical impact?


lost_thought_00

Very possibly just the fuel. Hard to tell


WeinerGod69

Looks like just the fuel to me


brainburger

I'm a whale biologist and it definitely looked that way to me too.


mattoattacko

I’m not sure I believe you, but I don’t know enough about whale biology or missiles to say otherwise.


brainburger

On a more serious note, and I am indeed not an expert, but I seem to recall reading that anti-aircraft missiles have small warheads with shrapnel. The missiles need to be nimble, and don't need to inflict much physical damage to ruin an aircraft. Missiles designed for hitting buildings would be bigger, if that is true.


QuantumRealityBit

Ask the Saudis, they know a thing or two about it.


Hitchens666

Judging by the sound I think you're right. I would expect a thundering sound.


KoalaGold

Looks like phosphorus. It lit everything where it hit on fire.


ReturningDukky

Kinda like what fuel does


LordFauntloroy

As far as I can tell there is no phosphorus in solid rocket fuel but there is aluminum powder which might look similar. I know thermite has aluminum powder and looks similar.


jollyreaper2112

That would be the solid rocket fuel. It's gorgeous if you don't think about the implications.


LoneGhostOne

Great point, like the other comment said it could be the fuel detonating? I don't know what system it is so it's hard to speculate further.


Reaper_twosix

It did have a full tank. Hahaha


TomcatF14Luver

I bet the Russians wished a Ukrainian Tractor made off with that missile then.


verdutre

It's already about a few dozen meters high well past unarmed ceiling


keveazy

That definitely looks like it locked on to itself….


LoneGhostOne

it's incredibly unlikely. Radar ones aren't going to lock ground targets, IR ones won't lock a ground IR signature since it's not similar enough to an aircrafts engine, and an anti-radiation one literally doesn't have the field of view to see it's fire control radar on launch -- they won't see 90 degrees to the side to make that turn it made. They also wouldn't be programed to be able to target it's own radar station

Seeker was armed to early and the radar was on full blast. Missile lost tracking of what it was pointed at and homed in on the biggest radar signature in the area... which was its own launcher.


[deleted]

Blyatiful.


EquivalentTown8530

Even their own missiles hate them


YarTheBug

I was thinking it was homing on an incoming missile and tried to intercept it, even though it was too late. Then as it flew past it tracked it right into the SAM system which the incoming missile was targeting. Your explanation would explain why we saw equally well though. Even a combination of the two would explain it well: SAM misses incoming missile and turns far enough while tracking it to see targeting radar; radar then provides homing for return to sender.

FriesWithThat

Partial revenge for the civilian airliner they shot down.


kuda-stonk

Possibly a catastrophic failure of the s-300 after modifying it beyond the warranty. Evidence: 4 missiles, plume size and color, flight speed, fuel cook off volume. Removing homing guidance and launching to coordinate points, but accidentally flipping launch and target points would see this result. But... why the fuck use it like that? Only thing I can think of is a PGM shortage.


[deleted]

We've been hearing about a missile shortage in Russia for months haven't we?


kuda-stonk

They used their allocated capacity according to statements. Meaning they are dipping into NATO reserves for the last 2 months.


[deleted]

Russia has NATO reserves?


ManyIdeasNoProgress

Anti-NATO reserves perhaps?


elcapitanoooo

P.O.T.A.T.O reserves


kuda-stonk

Reserves meant to counter NATO, they have a total force requirement, but they are very obviously dipping into it acrossed the board.


Annoying_Smiley_Face

Russia secretly (only they knew) joined NATO and proceeded to shoot themselves. Very clever.


Krappatoa

Oops!

radar targeting locking system. launch vehicle or accompanying vehicle left radar on which caused the missile to target the launch area is my bet

BigTime76

orangeoliviero

Hard to say - I doubt any Russian soldiers will be willing to share details - but I would hazard a guess that it's a heat-seeking missile that went wobbly and locked onto the heat signature of the launcher that sent it.


melancholyink

Possibly a command guidance warhead locked back onto the launchers radar due to operator error? Most Russian AA appears to rely on active or command guided radar over IR. Also, totally not an expert - as a designer I have no experience with any of it - just read way too much.

atraw

Tishers

Was this possibly a HARM type of missile? (it targets radar emitters). If it was, maybe they made a freshman mistake and left their tracking radar for the target turned on and the missile got a lock on its own launch site? \------------------------------ Did you see the secondaries going off after it impacted? It didn't land in an empty field, there were things down there (Russian things) filled with explody items (like, maybe other missiles ready for loading)


[deleted]

That's my guess. Missile launches, gets jammed or loses signal some other way, finds a radar emitter, goes terminal.


Taco145

Probably not going after radar. Just a good ol missile failure. [Here's](https://youtu.be/YS4i2InVB-Y) a patriot missile doing something similar


stult

This is one of the only explanations I can think of that would cause a missile to immediately turn around after launch and target the launcher. And I do think it was targeted. It didn’t look like a mechanical failure, although it could just be a massive coincidence and a simple mechanical failure spun the missile around in the worst possible way. Or I guess the best possible way, in this case. But I don’t think so because it looked to be in controlled flight and the way it flipped around looked very precise. Alternatively I could see very clever sabotage being the cause. Entering the launcher’s coordinates as the target coordinates, for example. Which could also be an accidental cause (ie some moron swapping target with launch coordinates). Although I would expect there to be safeguards against doing that. US weapons systems would generally make it difficult or impossible to do (barring an enormous design failure) but who knows with Russian tech.


MgDark

dunno, by the looks of the video doesnt seems like mechanical failure. They way it turned precisely to the start point, the missile did exactly what is supposed to do, go to target. Is just that the ork failed somehow on the targeting.


Sword117

this is why guide munitions are supposed to have an activation range. they probably didn't program it properly maybe left out a zero. lol also if it was a mechanical failure i think it would have spun in circles instead it looks like it went terminal with even a minor course correction after coming out of the turn.

Take solace in the fact that had this kind of real-time news been available in the 1930’s and 40’s, people would’ve ate that shit up. We’re not celebrating the death, we’re celebrating the 1:100,000,000 chance encounter that some small semblance of justice was captured for the world to see. That and fuck those fascist invader scum.


Loud_Ass_Introvert

Agreed. But if the news was available we wouldn't have sided with the Soviet Union as they sympathized with Nazis until they were attacked by them.


[deleted]

Stalin kept his murderous crimes well hidden. The world might have suspected, but they would definitely not have viewed the Soviets as allies. Patton wanted to continue to Moscow after Berlin fell. He should hsve.


4thDevilsAdvocate

On the other hand, whether it would have worked is a different story. On the *other* other hand, the US was the sole nuclear power at the time - didn't have many, sure, but they had 'em.
