Are S-300s that volatile? Military rockets typically have venting systems where they just kind of burn in place instead of blowing up or shooting right ahead.
Pretty standard HTI job.
Rocket fuel is really explosive, usually you would use 12.7 API but you could light it the frick up with anything.
Infantryman ivan has some fricking balls I'll give it to him.
these are basically surplus at this point, Russia can't sell them to many states in any serious number so they aren't hesitating to burn up their stockpile blowing up low value hohol targets
This video shows a contained, low yield burn of the fuel, which is how a rocket should "safely" fail. Western rockets atleast have vents on their sides that are disabled only in correct launch.
They'd just send Berlusconi over packed in a crate of wine, amphetamines and intravenous Viagra, and a month later he'd have banged his way to the capital so the Ukrainians would call for a truce to beg Italy to take him back.
>Shoot at missile system >It explodes
I don't know why, but that seemed genuinely unlikely to me.
It's probably best that I have never interacted with explosives.

it's a truck loaded with lots of volatile rocket fuel and explosives, what do you think?
>*Western military rockets
I don't think Slavs have discovered insensitive munitions
Wait so who is shooting what? Which side is the moronic one here?
theyre both moronic
Holy frick. Either a surplus of balls or a shortage of brains but why the frick was he so close. Kino video though
If you can see the explosive, you will be fragged
Good rule of thumb.
This read like something you'd see in an infantry manual.
this is the best video that came from the Russian side thus far, and it's basically Jackass: Russian edition. So much for notglobohomo.
>losing super valuable AA system because you're moronic
Oinkrainians really are losing bad, huh?
He wouldn't have shot it if it was still valuable, moron.
russia still hasn't supressed Ukrianian air defences lmao. Fricking Italy would probably do better job.

That is not a fair comparison hohol piggy. Italy has a bigger and stronger economy then mighty Russia
Video is from February or March.
>oh shit it actually worked!
Why didn't they just seize it? Couldn't have been someone around with how close they were.
there's no foliage, so it might be some forward operating team blowing up air defenses behind enemy lines.
why are people so wasteful with expensive vehicles in war
How is an (intact?) S300 allowed to be captured/destroyed up close by enemy infantry?
Because holhols are moronic lol
It’s a captured s300 system from Kherson during the early days of the war.
Ivan saw the tannerite lawnmower video and thought "hold my vodka"
That's not even a safe distance for a pound of tannerite, what the frick were they expecting?
i hope they were ok
>imagine doing this stunt while being so close to the launcher.
Russians are gutter-tier subhuman morons.
There's a reason 3/4 of Russian men don't make it to 50 years old.
>Shoot at missile system

Ivan, we are ordered to shoot the rockets.
Okay, get the camera.
Haha, glad somebody got around to it.
>What will happen if you shoot at the S-300 air defense system
