Russia’s will deploy its new RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles to units in Siberia and the southern Urals when the enormous new weapon becomes operational in 2018. The massive liquid-fueled missiles will replace the existing Cold War-era R-36M2 Voyevoda (SS-18 Satan) ICBM—which is the largest such weapon ever built. “The development of the Sarmat silo-based missile system with a heavy missile is nearing completion,” Col. Gen. Sergei Karakayev, commander of Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces told the Moscow-based TASS News agency. “It will replace the Voyevoda missile system in the Uzhur missile division and the Dombarovsky position area.”

it’s the submarines we need to worry about. Park a couple off the coasts - shoot a few as EMP’s and we are byebye
Liquid fueled....seems to me that gives us an alert before launch. Hum, not to worry, we got Obama at the switch.
Obama will protect us!
All of America's enemies build, build, build while we disassemble, disassemble, disassemble...
Trump will make Russia an ally. As they should be.
Missile envy?
Didn’t Obama’s imply that His mere Presence was sufficient to persuade all enemies to lay down their arms, to heal the planet, to lower the sea level?
I keep hearing how broke Russia is. So how can they afford all these new and very expensive weapons systems?
Somehow Clown Prince nobama and the fellow traitor managed to negotiate this and have US taxpayers pay for it.
From the article four entries up:
President Barack Obama will visit Hiroshima later this month, the White House announced Tuesday.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were devastated by atomic bombs the U.S. dropped on the Japanese cities in 1945 during World War II. Obama will be the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima.
He is scheduled to travel to Vietnam and Japan from May 21 through May 28 on his 10th trip to Asia, where he is expected to highlight America’s commitment to increase diplomatic, economic and security engagement with Asian nations and their people. The White House said Obama will participate in his final G-7 Summit when he visits Japan.
“The President and Prime Minister Abe will meet bilaterally to further advance the U.S.-Japan alliance, including our cooperation on economic and security issues as well as a host of global challenges,” the White House said in a statement. “Finally, the President will make an historic visit to Hiroshima with Prime Minister Abe to highlight his continued commitment to pursuing the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said late May is the appropriate time for Obama to visit the city and shrine.
I suspect a good bit of this is bluff, much as our Stars Wars program was under Reagan.
These are probably meant for China as much as the USA.
The bastard increases debt by $12 TRILLIONS, more than amassed in the first 233 years of the republic, and still has managed to gut defense. That would seem impossible to do.
Now that’s a really big........ Where do the batteries go?
While Putin is building those monsters, Odumb@$$ is doggedly shrinking our nuclear capability; and going to Japan to flap his jaws about a nuke-free planet....as though that were a rational possibility in this day and age.
That will not happen until Jesus comes back and sets up His Millennial Kingdom.
“It has a range of at least 6,000 miles.”
Still need a sub to hit Antarctica.
Utter nonsense. Stop reading Alex Jones.
I thought Obama was out on tour saving us from nuclear weapons. I guess vlad told him to go away.
