Russian frigate narrowly avoids blasting ITSELF in failed weapon test as cruise missile spins in the air before exploding in the sea just yards from the vessel
A Russian frigate narrowly avoided striking itself with its own cruise missile in a weapons test gone wrong, a video has shown.
The failed Kalibr cruise missile left the warship's launcher, rose and rotated alarmingly before crashing into the pacific ocean, it is claimed.
The failed missile posed a major threat to the newly renovated Marshal Shaposhnikov frigate as it hit the water, with flames visible on the surface.
