Russia is continuing work to put its 'unstoppable' Satan II intercontinental ballistic missile - part of its terrifying strategic nuclear arsenal - on combat duty, Moscow's state media has revealed.
The Satan II missile, also referred to as the RS-28 Sarmat, is designed to deliver nuclear warheads to strike targets thousands of miles away in the United States or Europe, but its development has been dogged by delays and testing setbacks.
In September, Putin faced humiliation after his Satan II missile exploded, obliterating Russia's only test site for hypersonic weapons.
As a result, experts said that the test programme for the rocket could be delayed for years, or could even be aborted after a series of failed launches.

Why worry? Zeepers assure me all Russian nukes are inoperable due to lack of upkeep. Further Putin while genocidal and hell bent on world domination would never use nukes.

You can’t dominate much of anything if it’s all just been nuked into oblivion...
Do you know if the new “Hazel” missile launches from a silo? I hunted around and could not find anything on that.
Putin ought to name his ICBM hypersonic missile the “Nuland” since Victoria Nuland’s meddling in Ukraine back in 2014 has helped to lead us to this situation where Russia has to develop these advanced weapons to deter the US-NATO.
(In reality, Satan II is NATO's codename for the missile, which media pundits never remind people about.)
No, that was the lunch burrito blowing up inside your posterior.
When exactly was his Ceausescu moment?
Was he made invisible and was the Fed Gov run by AI?
If you do not want Ukraine to have nukes, then stop threatening to use them. And oh, by the way, you can live up to your obligations under the Budapest memorandum and respect Ukraine’s independence and borders in exchange for them giving up their nukes.
It was a few months ago.
You need to keep up with the news.
