End of the World ??? as Russia unveils SATAN 2, a missile that can wipe out the whole of Texas and London

 

Russia's enemies would be wetting their pants as the European Power-House recently unveiled a new intercontinental ballistic missile that can reportedly destroy a geographic area as large as Texas.

The debut of the RS-28 Sarmat, nicknamed "Satan 2," was first announced by Russian news network Zvezda.  It will replace the R-36M Voevoda missile, the original "Satan."

"The Sarmat missile will not only become the R-36M's successor, but also to some extent it will determine in which direction nuclear deterrence in the world will develop," Zvezda reported.

According to Sputnik, an English-language news site with ties to the Russian government, the Sarmat missile will be faster than any missile-defense system in existence. It will have an estimated range of more than 6,000 miles.

It will be equipped with a dozen warheads with a payload of between four to 10 tons. During the missile's debut, a broadcaster on Zvezda said Sarmat missiles could "wipe out" areas as large as Texas or France.

Sputnik reports Sarmat missiles will also be equipped with "advanced anti-missile countermeasures meant to penetrate the U.S. [Advanced Ballistic Missile] shield."

The Russian Defense Ministry plans to put Sarmat missiles into service in 2018. The RS-28 Sarmat missile is also expected to completely replace the R-36M Voevoda missile by 2020, according to Sputnik.
