Another video of the failed test and rocket explosion at the Yasny test site near Orenburg
Another version from Ukrainian OSINT analysts states, that the footage may show the launch of the UR-100N intercontinental ballistic missile with the “Avangard” unit.
If this was a SpaceX clip, the camera would cut to cheering employees.
If the fire end starts pointing towards space, you are having a bad problem and will not be going to space today
How about spending less time saber rattling and more time fixing your 3rd world shithole of country of cowards.
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.
The answer is always more struts
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?
I like the idea that the only thing that has stopped Russia from starting world war 3 is their poor maintenance. If the occasionally swept up, we’d all be floating ash right now.
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.
Looks successful to me.
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.
yeah, that WAS true, until Russia has been waging war against us for over TEN YEARS!
Russia has created a self-fulfilling prophecy. they need to be dismantled, disarmed and re-educated.
What the fuck are you talking about. As if the actions of the Russian state are some democratic groundswell of aggression from the people.
i’m talking about reality. whether you like it or not, this is Russia’s war. it doesn’t stop at Putin. he is facilitated by the entire apparatus.
‘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.
I can’t understand why people keep insisting on invading all of the Russia, century after century.
Take St. Petersburg, get close to Moscow and call it a day. In present day, also disconnecting Belarus from the Russia would be good, as the country’s alignment would likely change.
Then agree that the Russia will get SPb back in exchange for leaving all of Ukraine, returning the children and letting Ukraine retain its corridor to Latvia as a form of reparations.
You can’t invade Russia. You might beat them enough that a settlement will be reached, and then, down the road, they’ll invade another relatively small neighbor. Rinse and repeat.
The problem this time is that the “small” country is fighting back like a badger, and is supported, albeit dysfunctionally, by one of the coalitions capable of handing them their ass on a platter.

i mean that’s what happens when fairings are replaced with wood
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

ah thanks!
My Russian is somewhere in the bad-to-non-existent range, but я (ya) is a personal pronoun, “I”.
Possibly “я боюсь” (ya boyus) “I’m afraid”?
They’re saying “yebat’!”, which literally means “to fuck” and practically something along the lines of “fucking hell!”
Well, if the two continents are only 100 feet apart, it worked great.
For when Russia targets Sarah Palins house in Alaska?
They should’ve consulted me. I have thousands of hours in KSP. They needed more struts. Possibly atleast two more boosters.
They should’ve just reverted to vehicle assembly.
They probably haven’t unlocked enough of the tech tree yet for those.
This is what happens when you use cheatcodes to progress.
You guys aren’t using cheat codes irl?
daisy chains of boosters too. it needs that
Asparagus staging.
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.
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.
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.

Haha. I had to do it. 😁
And all that unnecessary “maintenance” money was siphoned off to an offshore account in 1996.
Who would have thought soviet ICBMs were so fragile!
