Missiles lost during launch aren’t the best missiles, for Ukraine on the other hand these are the best.
There were signs during the Syrian civil war that Russian cruise missiles had greater-than-expeted failure rate. They were launching from the Caspian Sea, but some of their flying garbage poles fell on Iran (and probably the Caucasus too).
If true that’s not a bad start BUT I’d prefer if the planes and pilots were included with those missiles too.
When having engineering issues you always have to exclude outside factors.
So i would advice to Russians to target those missiles on their own planes. That way they verify if they work properly and the failing missiles are not caused by some interference or some external factor
I advice then to try this multiple times. You can never be sure enough.
Each of those missiles cost as much as a brand new school. Meanwhile the majority of schools russia does have, have a hole in a floor for squatting shitting.
Is this the dumbest headline so far? Possible.
Ruzzia is also losing their best bullets, grenades and artillery shells. In case you weren’t aware.
Ok, so…. Good news.
When I read this headline initially I was like “…There has to be more to this, because I’m pretty sure you’re *supposed* to lose a missile when you launch it.”
Like… “In other news, Russian soldiers are stealing freshly fired Ukrainian bullets at alarming rates!”
But, yeah, if by “losing”, they actually mean the missiles aren’t hitting their targets at all, that’s fantastic. And, unfortunately, probably at least part of why Russia is fighting this war to begin with. They’ve likely been fully aware for a long time that these newer missile designs had problems, and nothing shakes out the problems in a military structure or in a weapons system better than actually using it.
Quality and Russia are largely mutually exclusive terms so no surprise. Now if one of their missiles looped back and blew up at the launch site we might be on to something

**failed launches*
LOL and if that’s the “best missiles” OOOOOF!
