Russian soldier destroys Ukrainian MLRS; barely escapes boomeranging fireballs VIDEO

A video has surfaced purporting to show the moment a Ukrainian missile launcher exploded as a Russian soldier attempted to destroy it.

The footage appears to show a Russian soldier aiming his gun at a Ukrainian S-300 missile launcher from a close distance, per Newsweek.

The cameraman asks the soldier taking aim if he is ready. "Ready," one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's troops responds, before pulling the trigger.

Moments later, the S-300 missile launcher explodes upon impact and sends fireballs toward the Russian soldier and the cameraman. The soldier and his comrade flee to take cover, and the clip cuts a few moments later.
