The Russian RS-28 Sarmat strategic missile system is capable of destroying London in six minutes, columnist Matthew Dooley writes in an article for the British Express edition.
He notes that the Sarmat is already on alert, and thus the Russian authorities are sending a signal to Western countries.
Earlier it was reported that the Sarmat was put on combat duty.
RS-28 “Sarmat” (NATO classification: SS-X-30) is a fifth-generation Russian silo-based strategic missile system with a heavy multi-stage liquid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile. The “orbital bombardment” technology embedded in the rocket makes it possible to strike at the enemy’s territory along a suborbital trajectory through the South Pole of the Earth, bypassing the deployed missile defense batteries, and also allows launching civilian spacecraft.
On April 20, 2022, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the first successful launch of a rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. The first production samples of the Sarmat were delivered to the 62nd Missile Division in Uzhur, Krasnoyarsk Territory in 2022, and to the 13th Missile Division in Yasnoy (Orenburg Region).
