Dmitry Rogozin, head of Roscosmos, issued fresh nuclear threat to the West
Russia will soon have 50 brand new nuclear missiles capable of reducing all enemies to a nuclear crater, the head of the country's space agency has warned.
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos and a staunch Putin ally, said dozens of new Sarmat-2 missiles - measuring 14 storeys tall and weighing 208 tons - will be deployed by autumn to menace Russia's enemies.
'It remains only to advise the aggressors to talk more politely with Russia,' he said.
As a demonstration of Sarmat's power, he showed off footage of a 26ft deep and 66ft wide hole caused by one of the missiles when fired without a warhead.
He said: 'With a nuclear charge, such a crater at an enemy site will be…well, very large and very deep - and radioactive.
'And not just one, but exactly as many as the most powerful nuclear missile in the world will deliver to the territory of a fierce enemy.
'And we will soon have almost 50 such Sarmats [the missile is known in the West as Satan-2] on combat duty.
'It remains only to advise the aggressors to talk more politely with Russia.'
Rogozin, a former deputy prime minister and Putin super-loyalist, has made several recent threats of nuclear strikes against the West involving Satan-2.
For his latest threat, he used footage from Russian TV channel Zvezda, run by the Defence Ministry.
The Satan-2 missile is the height of a 14-storey tower block and weighs 208 tons, say the Russians.
The intercontinental ballistic missile has a range of 11,200 miles and can strike at targets at 15,880mph after flying in outer space or via the north or south poles.

Enough with the bullshit saber rattling Ivan. Mutually Assured Destruction is still a thing.

Oh darnit, I guess now that russia has 14 story tall nukes, we don’t have any other choice but to give putin anything he wants.
Too bad, I know how much all the people agree with that statement were supporting Ukraine before putin started threating nukes. Those people must be so sad, I feel so bad for them.
Unless this is all for show.
What a show to put on.
“As a demonstration of Sarmat’s power, he showed off footage of a 26ft deep and 66ft wide hole caused by one of the missiles when fired without a warhead. “
That’s what was left of the launch pad from a test malfunction.
Ok, so he can make the rubble bounce a little higher than he could last month. This new missile or the old one, everyone we ever knew would still be just as dead. Did anyone explain to the traitors and dip$hits running the show in DC that MAD is still a thing?
Vlad, could you possibly spare one for DC? American’s problems would disappear over night.
Russia reminds me of the mouthy guy at a bar that picks a fight, and when he starts getting his butt kicked begins yelling, "I got a gun out in my truck, I'm going to out to my truck and get my gun!" While half the other patron at the bar also have guns....
So why are these Russian blowhards constantly threatening to nuke everyone if what the Putards say is true, i.e. the sanctions are the greatest thing for Russia since sliced bread, have no effect, and the special operation is going spectacularly well and all according to plan?
Cognitive dissonance.
Can we get cancerous rocket man Pooty Toot to use his Satan-PartDeux to take out DC and leave the rest of USA alone?
Pooty -— What silos are are you putting your Satan-2 into or are they deep in Siberian forests?
Where are the Roooooskies gonna hide these 14 story mega-missiles?
We’re all going to die from Election Pox anyway.
Will lift off or go off right on their launch pads?
Well, the crater won’t be *that* big ... the targets will basically be modern-day Sodoms and Gamorrahs ... and apparently the radiation fades fairly rapidly.
And yet they can’t take Ukraine.
Do doubt as reliable as the rest of Russia’s war machine...meaning their guidance systems send them crashing into Moscow.
