A short clip, published by The Sun, of a Russian surface-to-air missile that appears to turn around after launch and hit its own launch site. It was reportedly filmed in Alchevsk during the 2022 war in Ukraine.
Used as a joke whenever a stray or malfunctioning Russian munition is in the news.

On paper, certainly. But a lot of those missiles have been stored somewhere in Siberia for 40+ years. Their condition is probably less than stellar. Who would regularly inspect and maintain random ammo dumps located five timezones away from Moscow in the middle of nowhere? I suspect that at least some of those missiles are outright out of commission and others are unstable enough to be a danger to the Russians themselves. Also, see this anti-aircraft gun in action: [VIDEO]
There have been a few cases of Russian missiles being launched then after 50 metres or so turning round and targeting their own launch site. So you’re not far off Here’s one: [VIDEO]
We've had this masterpiece, so really anything is possible when it comes to Russian munitions and direction. [VIDEO]
