In the near future, the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile will be tested at the Plesetsk cosmodrome. Conducting this kind of test is necessary to verify the missile’s combat readiness. In case of successful completion of flight tests, the rocket will go into mass production.
The Russian ballistic missile of the next generation “Sarmat” (RS-28) should replace the “Governor” at the fighting post, or as they call it in the English-speaking people, “Satan”. Development work on the Sarmat project began in 2011. To date, completed missile rocket tests. They began in December 2017. As reported, in 2020 it should begin to enter service. The rocket is being developed by the Makeev Center and will be produced at Krasmash.
According to the developers, "Sarmat" is capable of hitting targets, heading towards them both through the South and the North Pole. At the same time successfully bypass the missile defense system. In order to stop our missile in its destructive pursuit, it will take at least 500 US-made antimissiles.
