After Oreshnik, Russia Prepares Satan 2 ICBM for Combat

The tension between Russia and Ukraine has escalated with the deployment of Russia's RS-28 Sarmat (Satan 2) missile into active duty, a weapon symbolizing immense destructive power.

Despite its potential for global devastation, Russia positions the missile as a defensive measure responding to the U.S.'s withdrawal from missile treaties and Ukraine's acquisition of advanced weaponry like ATACMS.

The RS-28 Sarmat boasts extraordinary capabilities, including a range of over 18,000 km, the ability to evade air defenses, and the capacity to carry multiple nuclear warheads via MIRV technology. Its deployment underscores the precarious balance of power and the increasing stakes in this conflict.
