Russia is set to deploy the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, known as 'Satan 2', to replace older missiles. This advanced nuclear missile can carry multiple warheads, reaching targets across the U.

The RS-28 Sarmat missile, nicknamed Satan II, are capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads and could potentially strike targets thousands of miles away - including the UK

Russia is reportedly working on the combat deployment of its Sarmat ICBM. The update comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and Ukraine over strikes with Western long-range weapons on Russian territory and Vladimir Putin updating the nuclear doctrine.

Experts say the missile is more powerful than the Oreshnik used by Russia to strike Ukraine last week, but has been beset by 'catastrophic' failures

President Vladimir Putin has reportedly ordered that the intercontinental ballistic missile Satan II be ready to deploy. The likely deployment of these missiles that can carry nulcear warhead would be a massive escalation in Ukraine war.

Russia's failed Satan II missile test caused a massive explosion, destroying its only hypersonic weapons site. Experts predicted years for recovery or potential test program cancellation. However, Moscow's recent warnings against Ukraine suggest testing wasn't abandoned.
