Russia has unveiled the first image of its beast of a nuclear missile called the RS-28 Sarmat, also known as Satan-2.
It is Russia’s new super-heavy thermonuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which can wipe out parts of the earth the size of Texas and France, according to Russia’s Zvezda TV channel. The missile is capable of targeting major cities of the UK and other European nations. It has an estimated range of 10,000 kilometres.
The missile has been designed with stealth technology, means that it can be fired at a target without being detected by enemy radars.
It is expected to be an effective response to US missile defence deployments near Russia’s borders. Russia hopes that the new missile will deter US efforts to gain strategic superiority over it or launch a surprise attack.
The Satan-2 has a top speed of 7 km per second. It is designed to be fitted with Project 4202, a Russian hypersonic glider warhead which can accelerate to speeds between Mach 7 and 12 — seven to 12 times higher than the speed of sound. If the missile is ever used in this platform, anti-missile defence shields will not stand a chance against it.
The missile is expected to be an adequate response to US’s Prompt Global Strike, a Pentagon initiative meant to overcome an enemy’s strategic deterrent using massed launch of conventional cruise missiles, according to Sputnik.

UK and EU already having serious crisis, abeg Putin shouldn't add more pain.... US keep cashing out

Nonsense, I don't know why dictators always showcase their military might, who are they trying to intimidate?

You will hardly see US, UK and France doing this despite having superior weapons.

It's not even good to let your enemies know the kind of weapons you have

More destruction to come.

Of other world power choose to attack Russia, Putin thinks he can stand the fire

Nato and US don't mess with countries that possesses nuclear and ballistic missile.

You don't have to defeat your enemies,just show them you have the capacity to cause them damage

Do you know that US has the military capability to take out the control and command centers of these weapons thereby preventing any form of retaliation.

The country that strikes first and hard as well will be the winner

the bolded is the reason NATO and US a threading with caution,they can be eliminated and wiped out if Russia strikes first.

If you dont believe intimdation comes in different forms, then you must be a full because no other country in the entire planet have intimidated any other country collectively than america. Go figure.

Lol, I don't think that will happen bro, US knows every move in Russia due to its powerful intelligence, not to mention space capability as well

America doesn't need to intimidate any country, they are powerful enough to destroy the entire planet earth singlehandedly.

Stop blabbing like a kid.


2 superpowers are messing around. Each with a very hefty dose of respect for the other.

Posturing is the first step when people/countries of equal/ nearly equal strength are in conflict.

So...dont get your briefs in a twist.

A single determined man with a thermobaric weapon or a bunker buster can effect a cataclysm.

A single germ can do same.

Quit the fanboy euphoria.

Will we all die? Probably (not).
Will the earth remain? Yep.

what makes Russia a superpower? Is it because of nuclear weapons? Being a superpower goes beyond having nuclear weapons.


China, UK, France, India, Pakistan, north Korea and Israel all have nuclear weapons as well.

Any of these nine countries can cause extensive damage in a nuclear war.

Nuclear weapons are more of deterrence, I don't think any country is ready for nuclear war now knowing full well the devastation it will cause.

Like you said, we will all die due to radiation.

God1000:
[/b]what makes Russia a superpower?[b]
Like you said, we will all die.

The answer to your question is [/b]Influence.[b]

They are of 2 elements- soft and hard influence. (What such influence is based on)

Any country that is able to exert (both elements of ) influence across the globe (over a time period of at least , a decade), is a certified superpower.

Read history. Russia has been a key player in global affairs, pre Soviet era, during the Soviet era (super power status) and present day.


You don't get to be a permanent member of the UNSC if you are not considered a global powerhouse.


I could be wrong...so...

Maybe...

You could tell me what makes a superpower.

Any country regarded as superpower must have great economic and military power, US is world's largest economy with close to 800 military bases in over 80 countries across the world.

Soviet Union was a superpower but not today's Russia, we've all been living under such impression till Ukraine's war, this war has exposed Russia's Achilles heel.

UK and France are both UN permanent members as well with global influence.

Russia is a regional power, but not superpower

don't even go there. Russia is the king of space. US knows nothing about Russia but just hearsay.

If they know much about Russia,they would have known Russia's capability and capacity militarily,and economically ,they wouldn't rely on ineffective sanction .

Russia have succeeded in Ukraine despite US' and Nato conspiracy. Russia is the nemesis of the west

Putin should continue to add more pain till Uk and EU man up and stop being puppets to Washington.

U Are Sickd, Okay? Who Told U That Russia Has Influential Power? Ok Because They Violently Invade Ukraine Is That Why U Said They Have Influential Power That Can Authorize Them To Become Superpower? If U Think In Such Away, It Means U Don't Know Anything About What Is Called " Superpower".

What do you mean by this?

They get they capacity na im dey never take am out since.

The fear of Nukes/MAD(mutually assured...) is the beginning of wisdom.

Had it been Russia had no nukes, by now full fledged NATO offensive will have been launched in the heart of Russia.

The west are doing everything possible to prevent an escalation of hostilities while also using Ukraine as a proxy to undermine Russian influence.

Is it Putin's fault that the western media is obsessed with him?

I refuse to join issues with a, not only ignorant, but also, an uncouth fellow, such as yourself.

It would have been better for you to observe, learn, research and verify, rather than toss empty words with belligerence.

This description fits USA better. They threaten everyone with military might and sanctions. Anyone who doesn't support their ideology

You know nothing. As one country fires, the other automatically fires back. No winner read more about that if Russia. Their nukes have the capability to self deploy even if the controller is dead

God1000:


Lol, I don't think that will happen bro, US knows every move in Russia due to its powerful intelligence, not to mention space capability as well

Every move indeed when Poseidon left Russia's base, all of NATO where confused about it's whereabout. It completely disappeared from their radar.

Russia survived the cold war and is still surviving the sanctions against them. If Saudi Arabia should Ditch just the petroldollar exchange, this will be the end of USA.
