According to Director General of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, the technical data makes this rocket invulnerable to both existing and future US and NATO missile defense systems. Russia’s Sarmat missile can hit targets at virtually unlimited ranges, Dmitry Rogozin. Ouch! Sarmat Launch Leaves US a Decade Behind in Nuclear Deterrent VT reports.
“This is a missile that is much more powerful than other strategic weapons, including the Minuteman-III missile, which is in service with the United States. Both in terms of global reach and the power of warheads that can be delivered to the territory of an aggressor,” Rogozin said in an interview with Rossiya 24 TV channel.
According to him, the technical data makes this rocket invulnerable to both existing and future US and NATO missile defense systems. “This is a huge success for our designers and engineers. We are very proud,” he added.
“The Sarmat missile, compared to the Voyevoda (Satan) missile, is capable of hitting targets at virtually unlimited ranges,” he said.
Rogozin said earlier that Russia’s Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) will be much more powerful than other strategic weapons, including the American Minuteman-III missile. “This is a missile that is much more powerful than other strategic weapons, including the Minuteman-III missile, which is in service with the United States.

The Sarmat ICBM has been developed at the Makeyev State Rocket Center (part of Roscosmos) and is manufactured at the Krasmash enterprise. In experts’estimates, the RS-28 Sarmat is capable of delivering a MIRVed warhead weighing up to 10 tonnes to any point of the world both through the North and South Poles.
In a new ‘message’ aimed at the West, Russia on Wednesday test-launched a new intercontinental ballistic missile, the Sarmat, according to Interfax citing the Russian defense ministry.
President Vladimir Putin said in a statement that accompanied the announcement that the new Sarmat missile will provide “food for thought for those who try to threaten Russia.” He congratulated the armed forces on the successful test launch. According to another translation, he said that the Sarmat will “make the madmen who attempt to threaten Russia think.”
“Sarmat is the most powerful missile with the biggest hitting range in the world. It will significantly strengthen the combat power of the Russian strategic nuclear armed forces,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The test took place in Russia’s far north, reportedly at the Plesetsk spaceport which lies about 800 km north of Moscow.
According to a state media description, “The missile was developed as a replacement for the ICBM R-36M2 (NATO Reporting Name SS-18 Satan). It is expected to be effective in destroying enemy strategic targets around the globe with kinetic impact energy and without the use of the nuclear warhead.”

Lately, there’s been widespread speculation over whether Putin would be “willing” to use tactical nukes in Ukraine – something which Foreign Minister Lavrov categorically rejected in Tuesday’s statements.
On Tuesday Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was asked in an interview with India Today about the possibility of using nukes, to which he responded that Russia will only use conventional weapons in Ukraine.

Veterans Today writes that now the warning from Russia has arrived — the first and immediately successful tests of the newest “Sarmat” missile system. The same one from the magnificent five “Putin surprises” announced in the famous message of 2018.
It’s just cartoons, they said. Russia had only rusty missiles left, they said. Putin is bluffing, they said.
Get it and acknowledge it. Not literally yet, of course. So far — in the form of a test launch from Plesetsk to Kamchatka. But who needs it in the West, everyone understood perfectly. Or they are about to understand.
They will understand that today Russia has won the Third World War without firing a single shot. No one in the world, including the United States, has an answer to this new super-weapon of Moscow. And this won’t change for at least a few more years.
After all, “Sarmat” is not only able to overcome any existing missile defence systems, but also hit the territory of the United States, for example, through the South Pole. Or any other trajectory that makes their missile defence meaningless.
To “hit” means to wipe out a dozen million—plus cities from the face of the Earth with the warheads of one missile. Guaranteed. No other outcomes. Even tomorrow.
“These weapons will make those who, in the heat of aggressive rhetoric, will try to threaten us think,” Putin popularly explained.
It’s very much in time. And then some in the West, inflated by Ukrainian fakes and their own propaganda, suddenly began to declare that Russia is weak. That its army is good for nothing. That the heroic UAF have already destroyed thousands of Russian tanks and shot down hundreds of planes and are about to move on Moscow.
So, they continued, it’s time for America to intervene — to send not only weapons to Ukraine, but also troops, as Biden’s confidant, US Senator Chris Coons, said the other day. Such is the probing of opinions from Washington.
Now the Americans will come to their senses. They will sit down, count, scratch their heads. And to begin with, they will stop talking without thinking. And there, you see, they will look at Ukraine with a sober look: “We can’t hear you very well, mister Zelensky!”, concludes Veterans Today.
