Russian President Vladimir Putin has suffered an emabarassing setback as his feared Satan 2 nuclear arsenal failed four out of five missile tests, according to arms experts and satellite imagery from the launch site.
High-resolution satellite images of the launch pad at Russia's Plesetsk test site, where the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile exploded, shows extensive damage.
A crater approximately 60 meters wide at the launch silo at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia, along with visible damage in the surrounding area that was not present in images taken earlier in the month.

The missile's liquid-fuel engine likely exploded as it was exiting the launch shaft.
Based on satellite imagery of the Planet Labs test site, an OSINT analyst said the test ended in "complete failure."
According to reports, the explosion in the silo created a huge crater and destroyed the test site.

But that fifth one was quite a doozy
He should know better than to outsource it to Boeing
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
The Devil is in the details....
Everybody working to have the fastest delivery system to destroy humanity.
Too bad our elites have choosen to fleece the taxpayers in the west using the MIC instead of space exploration.
The Devil is in the details....

Details:
Much of the missile funding was likely stolen;
Missile uses Western chips no longer available, so local chips substituted;
Sheer incompetence.
Good news:
Many of Russia’s leading missile experts likely killed in explosion that destroyed the observation platform;
Is replacement for the RS-36 whose fuel was made in Ukraine
Sounds like what he needed was someone with the smarts to build a second, and maybe a third launch facility. What happened to good old Soviet -era redundancy?
Boeing made the Minuteman system that has stood on guard since 1963. I worked 9 years, in the USAF, maintaining the missiles in the field and they are incredibly reliable.
So that means they can only destroy the world once instead of four time over?
What a relief!
So, the Russians only have far superior conventional missiles and equipment and manufacturing capabilities but haven’t perfected their nuclear arsenal yet. That’s a relief!
Why liquid fuel in this day and age? Have they still not mastered solid propellant?
That’s the hell of it!
Give Mutant Life a chance!
Putin needs to hire Musk’s PR team to argue this was a great success.
:-)
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.
It only takes one nuke to ruin your whole day.
