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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Mouahaha it really warms my heart every time the kremlin tries to sabre rattle and everything just go haywire π
Neit, was not failure, was demonstration of missile extreme manouvering capability. Fligh ended in big bang, so was great success comrade!
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

Nothing to see here - Is highly successful test of suicide missle!
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
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.

'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.

Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!
Starts about 0:42. Filmers are far away.
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?

How about spending less time saber rattling and more time fixing your 3rd world shithole of country of cowards.
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.
Oh great. Now the guy with a massive nuclear arsenal has something to prove.
If the fire end starts pointing towards space, you are having a bad problem and will not be going to space today
