Russia attempted to conduct some nuclear saber rattling through a show of force by conducting a test fire today of the RS-28 Sarmat aka Satan 2 and it ended in complete failure. The missile detonated in the silo leaving a massive crater and destroying the test site.

My thanks to @MT_Anderson for providing this Planet Labs imagery and allowing me to publish it with comments. As is readily apparent, the RS-28 Sarmat test was a complete failure. The missile detonated in the silo leaving a massive crater and destroying the test site. The x.com/MeNMyRC1/statu…

Yesterday Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had an interview and issued another nuclear warning “No one wants a nuclear war, but I can assure you we have weapons that will have very serious consequences for the masters of the Ukrainian regime.“ So it was supposed to

It's supposed to be their newest latest and greatest super weapon the Satan 2. ICBM that will carry Avangard hypersonic glide vehicles to rain down 16 nuclear warheads that will destroy the West, particularly England. For whatever reason.

Plesetsk test site satellite image from planet Labs so if you want to pay for that imagery or wait until sentinel has a good pass. They are also in the original thread. Is the NASA firms data and NATO nuclear tracking equipment public flight data
I've been saying this for years - - when the Russian military can't manage the tires on their trucks, would Putin actually put any faith in the missiles to launch?
I talked to a guy a long time ago that was part of a missle(icbm) inspection team in russia during the Soviet union in then 70' tp the fall of the Soviet union. He told me the closer the got to the end (1991) a LARGE majority of the missles were inoperable. 1/
A friend's dad was USAF in 80s & observed USSR missiles as part of START. He once said it terrified him cos lack of maintenance. Estimated that roughly 1/2 wouldn't fire or would explode in silos. This proves him accurate.
This is likely a hint at the readiness of their entire nuclear force. I’ll bet they can use maybe 5-10% of their force and that their ballistic missile stockpiles are rusted hulks.
Lmao but honestly I feel bad for the now radioactive crater in the Forrest. Poor animals and plants being blasted with heat and radiation!
That looks like a crater of a much older explosion, possibly even of an asteroid. It is older because there are dirt roads inside it. There's a fresh explosion area, blackish, to the right.Unless russians admitted it was a satan and an accidental explosion, all I see is a hole so
Played this out in my head at the beginning of the current invasion in '22, just how many of Russia's nuclear weapons are and their launch infrastructure are properly maintained, in an exchange, exactly how many warheads would successful launch and hit their targets.
lol, it's not hard to believe that their nuclear arsenal was not maintained. After the fall of the union, their Navy, air force, And most of their armor wasn't maintained at all. The amount of pieces I saw broken down on their "march to Kyiv" was ridiculous.
I can imagine....NOW HIRING... ICBM Engineers and Project managers. Salary is commissary to overall experience. Apply now !! 🤥🥴🤔
Sabre-rattling is not as impressive when you draw the sword but only the handle comes out.
Thoughts and prayers, Vladimir.

Ask yourself why Russia hasn't gone in hard and heavy on Ukraine firing on Russian soil. It's because they've given all they've got to the Ukraine offensive already and there's very little left in reserve. Russia are all talk and no trousers.
The missile had 3 failures in a row before so rather than saber rattling they probably just... wanted to test it? Yes, unsuccessful, the missile is far from being operational, despite claims to the contrary.
One single US, FR or UK sub launches up to 16 missiles with 6 to 10 independently targetable warheads each. They're really talking bollocks.
Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if US assets have mostly sabotaged Russian and Chinese nuclear programs amongst many other things not destroyed by internal corruption.
