A new wave of Russian missiles plunged into the Caspian Sea after ‘technical malfunctioning’, it has been reported.

Launched from a Tu-95MS – one of Vladimir Putin’s Soviet nuclear bombers – the three rockets were aimed at Ukraine.

The alleged blunder could have seen them hit Russian residential buildings, said Crimean Wind Telegram channel, citing a Moscow military source.

‌’It was very lucky that they fell right away,’ said the Russian general staff source.

‘They could have flown a little further and fallen on residential buildings, killing a lot of people.

‌’If we don’t figure out the reasons for the fall of the missiles, then such a tragedy is a matter of time.’

Russia has been regularly firing cruise missiles at Ukraine from over the Caspian Sea, killing civilians in Kharkiv, Dnipro, Lviv and Odesa.

There has already been much speculation about the malfunction, which caused further embarrassment to Putin’s army.

The source claimed the cause of the failure may be Western sanctions, forcing makers to use inferior components.

‌Other causes could be ‘negligence in the assembly’ or theft of components to flock on the black market.

NATO/MSM/bioLab/CIA/Mockingbird machine doubling down on the propaganda.

The only play for them is more bribery and money-laundering.

A long-range strategic missile carrier Tu-95MS that these missile flops were launched from (Picture: east2west news)------ This looks like a turbo-prop bomber from the B-52 Era

You are like a broken record. You need to find a new groove. Go play some Bruno Mars with uptown funk. This guy Bruno gets a billion YouTube views for a few of his tunes. One gets 4-5 billion views

What propaganda? Russia started a three-day war that’s in its fifteenth month.

Russia is LOSING their war to conquer Ukraine.

Accept it. Deal with it. Come to terms with it.

The rest of this is just details.

Is there any room in your mind for further education? Hear US General Christopher Cavoli last week in Congress:

U.S. Defense Leaders Unveil Startling Details About Europe's Security Crisis!at HASC Hearing

Nato/Ukraine have ALREADY lost. If only the MSM wouldn't block that from being more widely known.

Case Closed. Just the reveal and dissemination of that remains...

Oh, and btw, the gold market agrees with this NATA loss - gold up $35 already today.

When did Russia win? I missed that memo. So did everyone else including the Chinese whose official maps of Siberia are using Chinese placenames again.

Looks like it may have its origins in the Soviet copy of the USA B-29

I hope China is truly planning to take Siberia.

The problem actually is how many missiles have reached and detroyed their targets in Ukraine.

"Looks like it may have its origins in the Soviet copy of the USA B-29"

Wrong airplane. The Tupolev Tu-4 "Bull" was a rivet-perfect copy of the B-29s that on at least four occasions got stranded by weather or crashed in eastern Siberia during WWII. The Russians kept them all under the pretense of the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact.

What's in the photo is a Tupolev Tu-95 Bear, which has swept wings and turbine engines (with contra-rotating propellers) and shares little or nothing in common with the TU-4 or the B-29.

We decided it was a three day war. They never said it was. But nice straw man.

BTW, Afghanistan was 20 years, Iraq was a solid decade. It took us about 6 weeks for the initial invasion. Our Syrian adventure is coming up on a decade.

The only three day war I am aware of is Desert Storm ground phase in 91. But of course, that doesn’t include a gigantic 6 week air war and the fact that we had 900k plus troops including 700k US.

There was an outlying chance than the government could implode, but that was a long shot. It was never expected by anyone to be a 3 day war, except in the DC propaganda.
