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.
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.
