The Russians have embarrassed themselves.

Another failed rocket launch in Russia was like a morning play in kindergarten. Captain 1st rank of the reserve, deputy chief of staff of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2004-2020 Andrey Ryzhenko said this on the air of Radio NV.

Answering a question regarding the video of the Russian launch of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile or the UR-100N missile with the Avangard hypersonic warhead, he noted that "they use the rest of the state funds to supposedly intimidate the rest of the world."

"I think it was an experimental launch. From the very beginning, something abnormal started happening on the rocket. You can see that from the launch. In a few seconds of flight it began to lose its normal orientation," Ryzhenko said.

Then, he added, the rocket finally lost its orientation, because of its high speed it broke apart in the air and began to fall.

"And we saw a very powerful explosion - it was detonated fuel residue," the expert explained.

Ryzhenko emphasized that earlier "these staged scenes had already happened: with the Poseidon, and with the Burevestnik, and so on":

"So it was another such children's morning play, like in kindergarten: everything was written down, who said what. But there was no basis for it, because the missile exploded."

As reported earlier, Russia's test launch of the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, a carrier of nuclear warheads, ended in a complete failure. In fact, immediately after takeoff, the missile lost control and fell near the launch site.
