Video Shows Russian Air Defense Topple Over Minutes After Putin Warns NATO
As Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened missile strikes on NATO countries sending troops to Ukraine, a video emerged showing one of Russia's prized Pantsir missile systems overturning in the city of Sochi.
A military vehicle carrying Russia's prized Pantsir-C1 air defense system appeared to overturn as it took a hard right on a road in Sochi, where one of Putin's lavish residences is located.
The CCTV footage was watermarked with a time stamp dating the incident to today, Thursday, February 29, 2024.
The footage was published as Putin delivered an address to Russia's Federal Assembly, in which he threatened Western countries with retaliatory strikes and warned that there is a risk of a nuclear war breaking out.
His remarks came after French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday suggested that NATO members could send ground troops to Ukraine. Other NATO allies including the U.S. ruled out doing so after Macron's suggestion.
"[Western nations] must realize that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of civilization. Don't they get that?!" the Russian leader said.
