Russia has unveiled chilling pictures of its largest ever nuclear missile, capable of destroying an area the size of France.

The RS-28 Sarmat missile, dubbed Satan 2 by Nato, has a top speed of 4.3 miles (7km) per second and has been designed to outfox anti-missile shield systems.

The new Sarmat missile could deliver warheads of 40 megatons - 2,000 times as powerful as the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly planning to replace the country's older SS-18 Satan weapons with the new missiles.

But Russia is our friend. We should partner with them.

So much for those arms control treaties. DJT is right, our negotiators suck.

Did the uranium deal orchestrated by the Clintons contribute to this?

A 40 MT blast will not wipe out France.

I also do not believe that missile can fly at 15,480 MPH.

Hillary should stop threatening Russia, and Obama needs a “Come to Jesus” meeting to understand the stupidity of the Democrats Fascists ideologies

Well believe it, because that’s an average speed for most icbm systems. Things fly fast in space.

Now that Hillary told the world it would take us four full minutes to launch a counter attack...

16 warheads vs 10 for SS18
One missile could probably take out NYC, DC and Boston.
Another SF and LA.

Game over for the USA

First strike weapon.


A first strike MIRV missile system with stealth, low observable warheads developed specifically to counter and defeat a fully functioning missile defense system.

The kind of missile defense system that was ready for deployment in 2008, but that Obama killed.

What ever happened to the MDA?

I do.

Orbital velocity is 17,500 mph. Since a missile goes on a sub-orbital track, it gets pretty fast at the end of it's boost phase, but doesn't get to orbital velocity. Not only that, it wouldn't be the whole missile, but just the warhead and maybe the final boost stage that would be going that fast.

15.4 K mph is fairly plausible.

Why don’t you believe it can go that fast? That is 10,000 MPH less than earth escape velocity.

Indeed. This level of reporter hyperbole and ignorance is typical. These are the very idiots we rely on for reporting on the campaign.

Is the world about to enter a new, dangerous nuclear phase that will once again heighten global tensions between superpowers?

Russia is gearing up to test-fire a nuclear weapon which supposedly is powerful enough to wipe out entire countries in a single massive strike. The “Satan 2” is rumored to be the most powerful nuclear design ever. It is believed to be equipped with new stealth technology to make it invisible to enemy radar systems.

Why not? It’s around the speed of ours and to their older models.

Multi-stage thermonuclear weapons were created in the 1940s. This is nothing. There is no practical limit to the size of a thermonuclear explosion, limited only by the size of the device.

“A 40 MT blast will not wipe out France.”
That’s true. Actually 40 1MT warheads would cause far more damage.
