Russia’s plans for their ‘doomsday’ hypersonic missiles have been delayed for years after the Satan-2 missile exploded during a test launch.
The huge detonation destroyed Russia’s only site suitable for testing the doomsday hypersonic rocket, the centrepiece of Vladimir Putin’s bragging of nuclear superiority compared to the West.
The explosion at Plesetsk is now known to have partially wrecked an observation building close to the launch site, with fears some of Russia’s lead rocket scientists could be dead.
Experts say the test programme for the rocket – also known as RS-28 Sarmat – may now be delayed for years, or could even be aborted after a series of failed launches.
Satellite images show a giant 200ft wide crater and scorched earth on the site of the Satan-2 launch shaft.
Fires raged for six-to-twelve hours after the catastrophic incident as firefighters attempted to fight the blaze.

Was it connected to a pager?
Mossad?........................
However this happened.....well, that’s too bad, but it may save a lot of potential trouble in the future.
“...Putin’s bragging of nuclear superiority...”
Note to Sarah Hooper:
The word “bragging” is an opinion on your part. My opinion of you is that you should change your name to something more descriptive of your abilities. Pooper would fit perfectly. /spit
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
Okay, is this a Russian word of some sort with a different meaning, or did they literally name this after Satan?
‘Satan’ is its NATO name for it.
Again, the Devil is in the details.
While Ukraine scored some big moral victories, no doubt planned for a long time with a lot of saved up fancy drones to coincide with Zelensky’s big US victory tour to conclude the war, Russia has now activated a number of advances, marking today in particular as the single most successful day of arguably the whole year, in terms of pure number of captures.
Literally on every single front Russia captured major territory today in what’s looking more and more like the beginning of that collapse Arestovich gloomily predicted last time. There were captures in Rabotino, Ugledar, Krasnoyarsk, Pokrovsk-Ukrainsk region, Toretsk, Klescheyevka-Chasov Yar, all the way up to Makeevka toward the Kupyansk zone.

Was this possibly a small nuclear blast? Incompetence is not limited to single faults.
