A head-on collision between one of Russia's 'doomsday' vehicles and a sedan-type vehicle has been photographed and uploaded to social media.
On August 5, Tom Bullock shared a photo of the intercontinental ballistic missile carrier (ICBM), also known as the 'doomsday' vehicle, on his Twitter with the caption: "Recent car crash in Russia."
The photo showed the sedan-type vehicle crushed in front of the truck which did not look like it had been damaged.
People on Twitter were quick to judge the state of the carrier itself as it looked like it had bits of green sludge on it.
One user commented: "Bloody hell did they dredge that thing up from the bottom of a lake? Look at the state of it."
Another said: "Does Russia store them under water when not in use?"
According to Express UK, the details of the crash are yet to be revealed, but sources reportedly shut down fears of the truck carrying a live missile and said the truck was a training version of the ICBM carrier.
The missile which people were worried about is 22.7 metres long and travels at 26,393km/h and carried a warhead of one megaton, which is enough to destroy most of London with a single detonation, Express UK reported.
The empty shells of the missiles are filled with water or sand which replicates the weight of a proper missile and allows the drivers of the vehicle to learn how to drive the truck with a heavy load and practice safe ways to brake.
