An "abnormal situation" occurred at Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft on Saturday as it was preparing to transfer to its pre-landing orbit, Russia's national space agency Roskosmos said.
The Russian spacecraft is scheduled to land on the south pole of the moon on Monday, part of a big power race to explore a part of the moon which scientists think may hold frozen water and precious elements.
"During the operation, an abnormal situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the manoeuvre to be performed with the specified parameters," Roskosmos said in a short statement.

💥 LEAK: Russia’s spacecraft Luna 25 which was supposed to land on the moon in demonstration of the fascist nation’s ‘might’ has crashed. Theft and corruption is already being blamed by the insiders.

Bwahahahahaha, Bwahahahahahaha. Dumb f—kers shouldn’t have put washing machine chips in a lunar lander. #Luna25 is stuck on the spin cycle. Russia should understand going to the moon is difficult and should leave this up to the real countries. It’s too poor and backwards.

We seen the US domestic surveillance Stasi in our neighborhoods, and running kids in our schools against other children, and understand those behind Ukraine are our enemy. It is a matter of time now before everyone knows, and things get interesting.
160 million American gunowners, most believe in freedom and the Constitution. How big is the domestic informant network in the US?
Just need to rebrand it a “special lunar operation” then results will be inline with expectations.
Luna-25 was a feint.
per nasaspaceflight.com yes you were right after all it crashed.
According to the famous Yura Prosti telegram channel, the specialists screwed up the command and the engines fired 1.6 times longer than planned - leading to the eventual crash of Luna-25.
If this is indeed what happened, then in my opinion this is an even bigger screw up than phobos grunt in 2011.
Why send a probe to Moon when you can’t even calculate simple orbital parameters?

They likely calculated it right, and just made a typo sending it, much like NASA did when they sent Voyager a wrong command resulting in it pointing the wrong way, typos and poor proof reading of commands are an issue lots of places.
Luna crashed, clown. Crashed was on twitter yesterday and in the newspapers today.
Soviet slide rule doing the burn calculations was drunk.
The article that was referenced didn't say it crashed, moron. It was only reported later that it crashed.
That Luna crashed was on twitter yesterday. You are behind the times.
Well, it's obvious your reading comprehension is sub-par so look up Dunning-Kruger for some insight into yourself.
LOL you might be right. vodka the drink of russa
