WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Russia is set to test a new nuclear warhead which they called unstoppable due to its speed of 15,000mph.
- Called the RS-28 Sarmat Armageddon missile, it reportedly can break any defense system and destroy Texas.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin said the arms race started as soon as the U.S pulled out of the New Start treaty in 2002.
The Kremlin boasts it has a weapon that can cover around 6,200 miles, can transport 16 missiles, and is capable of maneuvering against any anti-rocket system.
The missile, called RS-28 Sarmat, has an enormous load that can wipe out an area almost the size of Texas as described by Zvezda, the T.V station of Russia’s defense ministry.
The Times also reported that the primer of the long-foreshowed warhead has been delayed several times due to testing interruptions.
Russia deputy defense minister, Alexei Krivoruchko, said, however, that long-distance missile-firing are now forthcoming, adding that its test launch has been proven successful.
Krivoruchko further bragged: “By virtue of its capabilities, no missile defense weapon, even the most advanced, can hinder it.”
In 2018, Russian president, Vladimir Putin, disclosed several new weapons line including the RS-28, which will ultimately be posted in Siberia.
Other selections include what they named the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle, which the president claimed has soaring capabilities similar to that of a meteorite or a fireball.
The latest Sarmat bomb – also dubbed in the West as Satan-2 – is considered Russia’s most dominant nuclear global airborne missile, with only one containing eight megatons of TNT power. This capacity has the capacity of over 400 times than either one of the two U.S bombs plunged on Japan during the last leg of World War Two.
This could also mean that the missile has the power to crush an area size equivalent also of England, and the result will be nuclear fallout spreading across from the landing area, depending on the direction and speed of the wind.
It was only the previous month when Putin announced that a new race for arms has already started between Russia and the U.S, adding that his nation’s new hypersonic warheads are prepared for any combat. The statement by the Russian president was following the anticipated expiration in a few months of the New Start treaty, the last key nuclear arms control deal between the two superpowers.
Putin unveiled the update on Russia’s armed capability during his annual press conference.
“The arms race has already begun,” he said. “After the US withdrew from the nuclear defense treaty, that’s exactly what happened. Their country is now building an umbrella to protect itself.”
The 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty was an accord between the U.S and the Soviet Union that restricted the advancement of systems utilized to protect against nuclear missiles.
The U.S withdrew from the deal in 2002, saying the country needs to defend itself against nuclear threats from rogue states, and consequently starting the Missile Defense Agency.

The Russian claim is nothing but hot air. Facts, a missile at speed of 15000 miles will burn and desintgrade before it reach their destinatio.
stop ruining my fun!!! I want to ask them to shoot it at California and another one at the Oregon coast and another one at New York. that should take care of about 30% of all liberals / Democrats.
They cold bet the Chinese to the punch. then the Chinese are left with Washington state, Delaware, and Virginia, and Rhode island.
We’ll leave the others alone and see if they can come to their senses.
Amid dole can travel at those speeds, but can it maneuver? Reentry speeds are high, but no one would try to maneuver at those speeds.
I am just guessing here but I bet most of what the Russians are claiming is true. Russian politicians are a lot more honest then your average democrat and usually more clever then the republicans. If the Russians say they can do something they probably can.
And despite your likely desire to berate the Russians the Russians did not start the hate between the USA and Russia. It was in fact FDR and Truman who caused that. For those of you who do not keep up well they were both Democrats.
Uh…folks… EVERY ICBM travels at 15,000 MPH during its ballistic phase – that’s how it gets from here to there in 30 minutes or less. It slows down as it re-enters the atmosphere , and is subsonic when it reaches 50,000 feet or so. Insofar as “Destroying Texas” ? Nah – the 9 MT W-53 weapon had a 100% kill Area of 900 Sq. miles ( about 30 X 30) (Pretty horrible in itself) , and could start fires up to 60 miles away . And THAT was the yield of the largest ICBM the US ever fielded . To “destroy Texas” would require a MUCH bigger firecracker than some 8 MT Weapon. The US got away from big bombs in favor of smaller weapons ( less than 1 MT yield) and more precise targeting. The US still has some 450 MMIII Minuteman Missiles on Alert , but they are old , and in need of replacement by a newer system. I was a Launch Crew Commander on the Titan II back in the day ( 50 years ago) . The Titan II was on Alert from 1962 to 1986.
I figured the Russians probably were not lying. they are usually pretty straight forward.
Sammi,
if you hate this country’s people so much, why not just leave instead of wishing death and destruction on your own country?
Your hateful comment is very disturbing.
If Russia is bragging about having this missle, we should be concerned as to why they feel it is important to say it could take out Texas.
This is not a good thing.Now that Trump lost the election and Putin is making threatening type comments…we need to think ahead of ourselves, and be prepared to find out exactly what their intentions really are.
I’m sure Putin is pissed off, maybe even irate that his puppet trump failed and lost the election..he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar…….and of course will cause problems for everyone.
When will people give their heads a shake, and understand GOD is in control. No country can create destruction if God doesn’t want them to.
Sammi you need to shut up ,obviously your brain cells are jello just like the headguy right now in the white house.why won’t you go there and live with him.both of you have only 14 days to live in that place.IF?
