Official website of\u00a0Joint Stock Company \u00abAcademician V.P.Makeyev State Rocket Centre\u00bb has released\u00a0the first photo of new \u00abSarmat\u00bb heavy intercontinental ballistic missile.<\/p>\n

Russia is currently working on a new\u00a0 heavy intercontinental ballistic missile for\u00a0replacing the most powerful RS-20V Voevoda (according to\u00a0NATO classification\u00a0\u2014 SS-18 Satan)ballistic complexes.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov reportedly said in February that Sarmat will be equipped with several configurations, with the warhead having a mass of 10 tons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prototype will have precisely the same size and mass as the future combat version. Instead of a MIRV warhead the prototype will carry a dummy. The booster will not be turned on. Sarmat will rise several dozen meters above the silo to fall nearby,\u201d the source told TASS.<\/p>\n

MIRV, or a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle, is a ballistic missile payload containing several warheads.<\/p>\n

The RS-28 Sarmat or SS-X-30 is a future Russian liquid-fueled, MIRV-equipped, super-heavy thermonuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missile in development by the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau from 2009, intended to replace the previous R-36 missile.<\/p>\n

Its large payload would allow for up to 10 heavy warheads or 15 lighter ones, and\/or a combination of warheads and massive amounts of countermeasures designed to defeat anti-missile systems; it was heralded by the Russian military as a response to the U.S. Prompt Global Strike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
