Russian anti-frigate missile lights up sky as Putin's controversial war games demonstrate military might

This is the moment a missile was filmed lighting up the sky in Russia - as Vladimir Putin's armed forces demonstrate the overwhelming might of their firepower during controversial war games.

Russia's military has been carrying out exercises which Putin's government says are designed to practice fighting invaders.

But anxious political leaders fear the Zapad-2017 drills demonstrate that Russia plans to wage war in the West.

The video shows the Russian military demonstrate how it would respond to an attack from the sea off its south-western coast in Kaliningrad, in the Kaliningrad Oblast region.
