This from www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-19/what-happens-when-russian-surface-air-missile-launch-goes-horribly-wrongWhat Happens When A Russian Surface-To-Air Missile Launch Goes Horribly Wrong
Shortly after Russia announced early last week that it would take advantage of the lifting of the Iran sanctions and proceed to deliver an unknown number of S-300 "defensive" surface-to-air missiles, the Kremlin sought to reassure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that any deliveries of these to Iran will not threaten Israel's security. Judging by the following video which captures what happens when a launch of a S-300 SAM goes horribly wrong (and the immediate stunned aftermath), he may very well be right. That, or the Russian troops were simply showcasing what will happen one day when no amount of Mario Draghi threats can push the EURUSD higher any longer. Love to know what the Russian Army dudes were saying!! But, then again it is Russia. Warning, a couple of clips are not suitable for children.

as funny as that was, I am sure it happens a lot with US and Western munitions as well, the powers that be just have more control over the content the troops can upload.
I know Russia is known as a state that controls everything but things like this do kind of show the lower level of discipline the troops have, they all just ran around laughing and ended up buggering off, it all seemed a bit chaotic, whereas (imho) it seems that the West has more procedures in place for the troops to follow in this sort of situation.
Just my 2c, and probably worth about that much :-)
