A Russian intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) fired from an underground silo on the country’s southern steppe Friday on a scheduled test to deliver a dummy warhead to a remote impact zone nearly 4,000 miles away. The missile didn’t even make it 4,000 feet.

Russia’s military has been silent on the accident, but the missile’s crash was seen and heard for miles around the Dombarovsky air base in Orenburg Oblast near the Russian-Kazakh border.

Analysts say the circumstances of the launch suggest it was likely a test of Russia’s RS-28 Sarmat missile, a weapon designed to reach targets more than 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers) away, making it the world’s longest-range missile.

1. A, "product solely of Russian industry cooperation,"

Video showed, "the missile veering off course immediately after launch before cartwheeling upside down, losing power, and then crashing a short distance from the launch site."

Maybe they've been taking rocket lessons from Musk. Have I mentioned lately that Ukraine will win this war?
