The agency recalls that the throwing tests of the new Russian Sarmat ICBM were transferred several times. Previously, they were planned for March of this year, however, according to another source in the military-industrial complex, they were again shifted to the right because of the need to “complete the full cycle of product testing at the new test benches of the Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant”.
