Video has emerged of one rogue Russian air defence missile from a volley launched in the Luhansk region turning 180 degrees in mid air to smash into almost the exact location from where it was launched.
The video was reported to be filmed in the early hours this morning near the town of Alchevsk, about 55 miles south of Severodonetsk, where the fiercest fighting has been raging.
Reports indicate that the air defence missile system - possibly an S300 - was operated by Ukrainian pro-Russian separatists from the breakaway Luhansk People's Republic.
The cause of the malfunction is not clear, with some speculating that it may be due to hacking or jamming by a loitering Ukrainian drone, although this is considered unlikely.
The video shows the missile creating a large explosion on impact and showering the surrounding area in a bright cascade of sparks, thought to be caused by the missile's fuel exploding having not been spent on its flight.

Burns good too when in contact with a person.
It’s just a minor software glitch.
lotta rubbles in guidance wasted only to drill it into the ground...
Something similar happened during Desert Storm. The missile made a turn and smashed into a building. I believe the fix was to turn off the missile until you were ready to fire it.
#10. Interesting. Do you have any idea how that is supposed to work for ground launched, surface-to-air missiles launched in surface-to-surface mode? To me it sounds like a way to waste missiles.
Exactly. They’re wasting their SAM missiles to attack ground targets. Especially using their Crimean based SAM air defense missiles to attack Nikolaev and Odessa ground targets. Not enough cruise missiles available for the job.
Only beneficial thing for Russia is the Crimea defense SAMs used against ground targets in Nikolaev and Odessa are hard to shoot down so they usually get past Ukrainian air defenses. But it leaves Crimea more and more at risk.

My best guess would be that somebody entered the launch co-ords into the target co-ords.
