This is the Patriot misfire in Saudi Arabia from 2018.

Yes, this rogue Russian missile U turned 24-06-2022!

Reports indicate that the air defense 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. According to local media reports, a fire erupted from the site not far from residential buildings. There were no reports on casualties suffered by Russian and separatist forces in the mishap.

A similar incident occurred in Saudi Arabia in 2018, when a US-made Patriot air defence missile fired to intercept ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Houthi militia malfunctioned, turning around and crashing into a residential area of northeastern Riyadh.
