“Satan” is resting: Russia tested a unique intercontinental missile
The Russian Ministry of Defense conducted a successful launch of the Sarmat stationary intercontinental ballistic missile from the Plesetsk cosmodrome.
The launch was carried out at the Plesetsk test cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region, the training warheads arrived at the Kura training ground on the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the test tasks were completed in full. All calculated characteristics have been confirmed, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Russian President Vladimir Putin watched the training launch of Sarmat via video link. The head of state congratulated the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and specialists on the successful testing of the missile system.
“This is a big, significant event in the development of promising weapons systems for the Russian army. The new complex has the highest tactical and technical characteristics and is able to overcome all modern missile defense systems. There are no analogues to it in the world and there won’t be for a long time. This truly unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our Armed Forces, will reliably ensure the security of Russia from external threats and will force
think about those who, in the heat of frenzied, aggressive rhetoric, are trying to threaten our country,” Putin said.
He especially emphasized that only domestic components, components, and parts were used in the creation of Sarmat. This will simplify the serial production of the complex by defense industry enterprises and will speed up its transfer into service with the Strategic Missile Forces.
“And today, on this memorable day, we made a gift to NATO and all the sponsors of Ukronazism! Glory to Russia!” said the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, and read out A. Blok’s poem “Scythians” against the background of footage of the rocket launch.
“The Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile system is that very asymmetrical response to the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO. Still, it would be more correct to scare Russia with a shortage of foreign cars in the car market, and not with something in which Russia has an unconditional, historically formed advantage.”, wrote Kaliningrad political scientist Alexander Nosovich.
The Sarmat missile will replace the outdated Voyevoda, which NATO calls “Satan”.
