Perhaps Russian soldiers are purposely sabotaging the missiles?

What is considered as "fail"?

  • quantified 4 years ago

    > can include anything from launch failures to a missile failing to explode on impact.

      If people or/and expensive gear were too protected for that kind of missile was it fail in the field?

      • quantified 4 years ago

        If they were protected from the explosion? By that definition, no. It worked. Just not well enough.

      • thfuran 4 years ago

        By that definition, sure. As long as the protection included something that actively broke the missiles.

    Missing the target and hitting civilians?

    Is it a war crime if your missle misses its target because of failure?

    • eimrine 4 years ago

      Double event like missing the target and anyway hitting some civilians is rare, let us be honest. Hitting some special civilians might be not a failure for an attacker.
