Bungling Russian spetsnaz tries to destroy an enormous Ukrainian S-300 missile from yards away with his gun - only to be engulfed by enormous blast when it explodes

Shocking footage has emerged of the moment a Russian soldier attempted to destroy a Ukrainian missile launcher from close range with dramatic and potentially lethal consequences.

The clip, shared on a pro-Russian channel on social media and messaging app Telegram, shows one of Putin's fighters taking aim at an abandoned Ukrainian S-300 missile launcher sitting mere yards away.

After taking a few moments to compose himself, the soldier squeezes the trigger of his PKM machine gun, presumably expecting to damage the hardware or perhaps set off a minor explosion to render it inoperable.

A split second later the missile launcher erupts into an enormous explosion, sending gouts of flame blasting toward the lone gunman and his comrade holding the camera.

Pretty sad what the WW3 cheerleaders are left to brag about, considering the results on the battlefield.
