The Norwegian navy has released explosive footage of the moment it launched a missile at one of its own ships. The decommissioned KNM Trondheim frigate was blown up as part of an exercise to test out the accuracy of a long-range missile. From the footage, the missile successfully hits its target, causing a huge fireball to errupt on the side of the vessel, sending smoke and debris flying into the air.
