We did not deem the test to be a threat to the United States or its allies," he added. Amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has showcased his power to the West by launching a new intercontinental ballistic missile, Sarmat, on Wednesday. During its launch, Putin said that the latest missile launch is capable of firing up to 15 nuclear warheads in a single strike. "Russia properly notified the United States under its New START obligations that it planned to test this ICBM,” he said.

The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, said Russia had notified the United States in keeping with Russia’s obligations under New START, an arms-control treaty governing such nuclear-capable weapons that expires in early 2026. The flip side of that is that he doesn’t want a nuclear war either. Putin praised the Sarmat engineers in his speech Wednesday for creating a purely “domestic” product. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters Wednesday that the United States did not consider the weapon a threat to Washington or its allies. The Sarmat was intended to replace the Soviet-designed Voevoda, which was designed in 1962 with the capability to carry three warheads.

The Sarmat, dubbed “Satan II” by the West, is a new addition to Russia's arsenal and is capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads.

The initial launch of the missile is the boost-phase and the “Satan II” is said to have a boost-phase so short that the U.S. wouldn’t be able to knock it out of the sky. It has no analogues in the world and won't have for a long time to come,” Putin said on Wednesday. Each of the 24 possible internal warheads in the “Satan II” will be carried on the wings of an Avengard hypersonic glide reentry vehicle, a kind of ballistic missile that can maneuver around enemy defenses.

It added: "This launch is the first in the state test program. "Putin himself has raised this. Thanks to the energy-mass characteristics of the missile, the range of its combat equipment has fundamentally expanded both in terms of the number of warheads and typesRussian defence ministry "Thanks to the energy-mass characteristics of the missile, the range of its combat equipment has fundamentally expanded both in terms of the number of warheads and types, including hypersonic gliders," the ministry said in a statement. On that basis, it has been reported that the weapon could "wipe out an area the size of England and Wales twice over". The missile landed at Kura Missile Test Range on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east of the country, according to Russian defence sources.

Vladimir Putin did his best to put a menacing spin on Russia's testing of a new intercontinental ballistic missile on Wednesday.

However, unlike Russia, the US has made efforts to avoid inflaming tensions with its own missile programs. These weapons often existed ... but their impact was used to distract the German people." But US officials played down his remarks back in 2018 and took a similar view after the latest test. He mentioned the Sarmat in a 2018 speech This is because silos are stationary and therefore more vulnerable to an enemy strike. has not been going well.

The Russian President said the test of the nuclear-capable weapon would provide 'food for thought' for the Kremlin's enemies in Ukraine.

It has no analogues in the world and won’t have for a long time to come,” Mr Putin said. “This truly unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our armed forces, reliably ensure Russia’s security from external threats and provide food for thought for those who, in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country.” Vladimir Putin said Sarmat would ensure Russia’s security from external threats and “make those who, in the heat of frantic, aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country, think twice.”

It is capable of carrying hypersonic glide vehicles along with other types of warheads, the Kremlin said. “It was not a surprise. “The Sarmat is the most powerful missile that has the highest range in the world, and it will significantly bolster the capability of the country’s strategic nuclear forces,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The Sarmat is one of the most destructive in the world and is able to evade US and UK defence systems.

“However, it does also reflect the fact that we are in a new era of nuclear history, where arms racing and nuclear threats are making an unwelcome return,” he added. Some media reports say the missile took 15 minutes to reach its target. Dr James Bosbotinis, an independent specialist in defence and international affairs, said that while Russia attaches particular significance to being able to overcome missile defences, “no credible defence against Russia’s ICBMs exists”.
