The moment a Russian surface-to-air missile turns and strikes the invading army that launched it has been caught in dramatic battlefield footage.
A short clip captured the moment pro-Russian separatists launched a rocket at Ukrainian troops in the city of Alchevsk, Luhansk in the early hours of Friday morning.
The bizarre mid-air malfunction sees the missile fail as it ascends in the night sky before looping back on itself and pummelling positions held by Vladimir Putin's troops.
