Soyuz (R-7 family) and Proton rocket first stage failures from 1960 to present

A compilation of (mostly rare) footage of R-7 family launch vehicles and Proton family launch vehicles sourced from Kosmonavtika, Roscosmos, and KIK USSR. Supporting information primarily from KIK USSR, Astronautix, and Claude Lafleur's encyclopedia. In general I used as much continuous footage as publicly available. In one case (the recent Soyuz-FG failure), I cut the footage because the failure occurs fairly late. In one Proton-K flight, the footage was very distorted and incomplete, so it was spliced together to roughly chronological order. It still is missing a phase of flight. The dual fairing failures of Soyuz-U in 1996 are shown together for comparison purposes – it's remarkable that the aerodynamic forces are so close that the failure occurred at almost identical times.
