Video shows Russian ICBM warheads hit targets on test range

Published on: December 27, 2013 at 2:00 PM

Whereas the are plenty of videos showing Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) being launched, few of them depict warheads hitting their targets.

That’s why this video is particularly interesting.

It shows Russian ICBM warheads hit their targets on Kura Test range, in northern Kamchatka Krai in the Russian Far East.

Obviously, if real, the sight of warheads released by the MIRV (Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) coming your way might be the last thing you ever see.
