Vladimir Putin will test the new missile which is capable of beating any missile defence system, according to Moscow. The move comes as NATO and Russian vessels have been locked in a ‘cat-and-mouse’ game in the Mediterranean as both seek to test each others capabilities.
A source said in The Times: “The main aim is to check the rocket’s systems at the moment of leaving the silo, the switching on of the Sarmat’s first stage and the following five seconds [of flight].”
The new RS-28 Sarmat missile, which NATO has been nicknamed Satan 2, was unveiled last year before faults delayed testing.
The 100-tonne missile will have a range of 6,200 miles and is capable of carrying a terrifying 16 warheads. The payload would be able to destroy an area “the size of Texas or France,” it was claimed by he defence ministry’s television channel Zvezda. RS-28 Sarmat is now ready to be tested which will be carried out later this year, defence sources have claimed.
Putin’s 320 silo-based missile and 1,000-warhead arsenal is set to be completely replaced while submarines and bombers will be updated. The news follows shocking revelations that Russia is approaching a breakthrough as it works create genetically modified super-soldiers. Putin warned a crowd of young students that scientists in Russia will soon break the genetic code and create something "worse than a nuclear bomb".
In a shocking speech yesterday, the Russian leader suggested that his world could soon seen sci-fi super-human soldiers who cannot feel pain or fear.
