Alright two questions: How do four missiles miss their target by that large of a distance, is the Russian military really that incompetent/outdated/poorly equipped? Really not by a couple miles but two countries away???

Secondly: Why does Russia have missile cruisers in a lake, the reports state they were fired from the Caspian sea, perhaps they meant to say the black sea.

Somehow in my mind I saw Russia as a capable adversary but that makes me question their abilities, thoughts?

Update: The missiles reportedly are Kalibr anti ship-sub, or land attack cruise missiles developed in 2012 as part of Russia's modernization efforts.

1) best bet would be engine or navigation failure;

2) the Volga River connects the Caspian Sea via canals and other rivers to the Black and Baltic Seas.

Thanks, the locks look large enough to pass small container ships or military vessels.

I had no idea that they were producing this quality of missile. I was glad to hear that several crashed.
