The newest heavy ICBM, Sarmat, successfully launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome.


Today at 11:15 Moscow time, the newest heavy intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. Rocket "Sarmat." Strategic Missile Forces Commander Sergei Karakayev reported the launch to President Vladimir Putin as successful:

The test results confirmed the correctness of the design and technological solutions used, as well as the missile system's ability to achieve its specified characteristics.

What makes the Sarmat so terrifying for the West? It's a replacement for the legendary Soviet Voevoda (R-36M2, also known as the "Satan" by NATO classification).

President Putin, after hearing the report, emphasized that the Sarmat is the most powerful missile system in the world:

The total yield of the delivered warhead is more than four times greater than that of any existing, most powerful Western equivalent. The missile can travel not only on a ballistic but also on a suborbital trajectory, allowing for a range of over 35 km.

Suborbital flight support allows the missile to fly over the South Pole. It can strike a target from any direction, including unexpected ones.

Putin recalled that work on such systems has been underway since the early 2000s. At that time, a nuclear forces development program was adopted that guarantees the penetration of any future enemy missile defense systems. Sarmat is a key component of this program. The first missile regiment with the new missiles is scheduled to begin combat duty at the Uzhur formation by the end of this year.

          I wonder what kind of crater would be created if a Sarmat missile without a warhead were launched at Zelensky's residence?

          About 500 meters?

            What kind of crater would be created if a Sarmat missile without a warhead were launched at Zelensky's residence?
            In 22, the Russian Ministry of Defense published data from a dummy bomb impact. The crater was approximately 8 meters deep, 20 meters in diameter, and had a volume of approximately 1000 cubic meters. The kinetic energy was approximately equivalent to a T-80 flying at the speed of a MiG-31 at supersonic speed.

            The most sensitive part is the ground burst. A single warhead has an estimated depth of 40-60 meters, with a diameter of about 400. And the Sarmat has 10 of them...
            I couldn't find any real data.

            For comparison, the diameter of the crater and the Pentagon. Any similarities are purely coincidental... laughing

              For some reason I remembered an old children's song:
              Maybe we offended someone in vain,
              Dropping a couple of thousand megatons.
              And now the earth is burning and melting
              Where the Pentagon once stood.

            This successful Sarmat test is very timely and opportune, given the military-political situation. It would be wise to produce this missile in two versions.
            One with a focus on our cunning American partners - a payload of 10 tons with a range of 18 thousand km.
            And the European version. With a missile weight of 208 tons, reducing the range to 5 km, the combat payload could be increased to over 100 tons. A nuclear version with nearly a hundred warheads could effectively destroy half of Britain. This would significantly dampen the fighting spirit of Europeans preparing to fight Russia.

              Nope, there's not enough time to deploy that many warheads. And the risk is high—one successful missile defense hit and 100 warheads at a billion each.

        True, no one will ever launch it at the notorious West, because no one ever shoots their own children.
        I saw someone's cheerful calculation here: "The Sarmat has about 36 megatons. That's 2 Hiroshimas!" Actually, it only took one Hiroshima and one Nagasaki, after which Japan decided to surrender—that's compared to the 1,6 million American losses (half a million of them killed), which, according to estimates, would have otherwise been necessary to defeat Japan.
        And in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, they've been forced to run from drones for years, and not only everyone, but also an increasing number of other Russians who are beginning to be reached by UAVs, are destined to survive until tomorrow morning.
        Well, it's great that we now have something like the "Sarmat." But the deaths of ordinary Russians are far below the threshold for its use. Almost all drones are shot down above me, but I think even if a drone started exploding in my yard every day, taking lives, the Sarmat wouldn't help, even if it continued for a month or ten years. It's got a whole bunch of Hiroshimas, and they're of no use to the people of Belgorod, for example.
        P.S. I understand that this is a narrow view (in the heat of the moment, so to speak, because I'm fed up) - but we need to look at things more broadly and far-sightedly, like our GDP.

          What's so unlucky? I spent my childhood 100 km from the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site. But at least the air defense there was decent, plus a strategic aviation division and an entire combined arms army covered everything. And now they're deploying Sarmata 100 km from our village. And there's no air defense, much less a missile defense system, even close. Why not near Moscow, protected by the most powerful air and missile defense systems? Or somewhere in the north, where no one lives, if everything near Moscow is occupied.

The troop concentration there was no less than in the Moscow District. A simple example: After Russian troops withdrew from Kazakhstan in 1993, the population of Semipalatinsk itself dropped by more than 100. Cities like Kurchatov, Ayaguz, and a dozen other military towns became ghost towns.

        Then maybe pay attention to the article about Sarmat, the stories about the Burevestnik cruise missile, Poseidon, and its Belgorod-class submarine carriers. The "contribution" of the Peresvet laser system to UAV defense isn't even worth mentioning. These investments in Russia's defense are somehow strongly reminiscent of Gorbachev and Reagan's Star Wars ideas, complete with Buran missiles. The main thing is that everything is "necessary" for our soldiers in the Northern Military District.

          Serving during the USSR, you must admit, is somewhat different than after its collapse? A completely different disposition and reality... And his statement was made long after the collapse, meaning he no longer had the competencies of a civil servant and was simply a civilian sociologist and political scientist... How much experience does he have? I counted... 11 years in his life, and with breaks... Do you think that's a lot? So what exactly makes him, with his statements, so authoritative for you? While there may be a grain of logic in his words, I don't understand why his statement is constantly cited as some kind of dogma...

    Well, Satan has a worthy replacement. And God forbid Sarmat is used. I hope the hotheads cool down, otherwise the whole world will crumble into dust.

    The combat unit will have the following performance characteristics:

    The maximum speed in the atmosphere is 15 M. The average speed is in the range of 5-7 km/sec.
    The product begins to operate at an altitude of approximately 100 km (the upper limit of the Earth’s atmosphere).
    The warhead performs maneuvers in the atmosphere during descent to overcome anti-missile defenses.
    The warhead capacity is 750 kt of TNT equivalent (there are rumors that it was increased to 1 MGT), and there are 10 of them on one missile.

      I wonder, if Iran had even a twentieth of these Strategic Missile Forces, would the US, along with Israel, risk starting a war against it? I can't figure out why they went public with it. This is the primary deterrent against the encroachments of pro-Western Russophobes who have long dreamed of ending Russia. Yes, those same stars on their shoulder boards, along with the military-industrial complex, have spent it before, have spent it now, and will continue to spend a fortune, because they are tasked with maintaining the state's strategic defense capability at the proper level, so that no one would even consider suffering the consequences of using these weapons. Can you offer another, equally reliable deterrent at the strategic level? If you can't, then the suggestion fails. request

        Deterrence comes from the word "restrain." Our country is being savaged, and we're just sitting there, pouting. If Iran had such a missile, Israel would have long since ceased to exist. Because they're ready to use it to defend their country from an aggressor. Just like North Korea, unlike us.
