The meaning of the #Sarmat: telegra.ph/Satan-II-Russi… h/t @BhadraPunchline @Z_DauletSingh #Russia #Ukraine #ICBM #NuclearDeterrence
"The #Sarmat is a direct response to the...American "missile defence shield" based both on ships & on land (mainly in Poland & Romania). Its entire design is aimed at defeating the American interception capability and thus restoring Russia to parity in nuclear deterrence"
#Sarmat can carry several bombs at the same time destined for different locations, MIRVs (Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle) in technical terms...
#Sarmat is a FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System), "a hybrid between a satellite and an aircraft"
"by performing an orbital "flight" at about 150km above the earth, (#Sarmat has) total range over the earth. In this way, #Russia does not have to deliver its weapons ..where NATO's radars and interceptors are. Instead, it can choose to deliver its weapons from the opposite side"
"Not only that, but Avangard warheads can glide at high speeds, making it more difficult to predict their path. Predicting a ballistic trajectory is very easy, we only have to look at how the Israeli Iron Dome is able to predict the routes of missiles launched at Israel" #Sarmat
Striking second first:"The missile silos will also feature the "Mozyr" active protection system, designed to deny potential adversary's first strike advantage by discharging a cloud of metal arrows or balls kinetically destroying incoming bombs, cruise missiles and ICBM warheads"
"on 20April the 1st firing of the full rocket was made, expected to enter active service by the end of 2022. The Avangard warheads have been in production since 2018. By the end of the year, the SatanII will enter active service, one of the 6 new strategic weapons Putin promised"
"#Russia said it planned to deploy its newly tested #Sarmat...by autumn...The launch of this 'super-weapon' was a historic event that would guarantee the security of Russia's children and grandchildren for the next 30-40 years,' said the head of Roscosmos"news.cgtn.com/news/2022-04-2…
"The director and the designer-in-chief of the Makeyev missile-maker that developed the #Sarmat, Vladimir Degtyar, said in televised remarks that its range allows it to fly along any trajectory across north or south poles to hit any target around the world."
