Amid Vladimir Putin's controversial decision to authorize the sale of the S-300 missile system to Iran, a video has surfaced purportedly showing a failed Russian military missile launch.While the type of missile was not immediately confirmed, a Russian military official reportedly told AFP on Wednesday that a rocket had crashed in the Arkhangelsk region in nothern Russia.In approximately 8 seconds the missile shoots upwards and then plummets back to the ground.Iran's acquisition of S-300 systems would be "a complete game changer for all fourth-gen aircraft [like the F-15, F-16 and F/A-18].
