Russia is preparing to test-launch its latest nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile, which it claims can get through America's defense shield.

The RS-28 Sarmat, or Satan-2, weighs over 100 metric tonnes, with Russian state-linked media claiming it has a 10,000-km range, according to the Independent.
Moscow says the Satan-2 is capable of destroying an area the size of Texas.

The RS-28 Sarmat is equipped with multiple hypersonic warheads MIRVs to help it evade missile defense systems.
The Russian government says the new missile can carry a payload of up to 15 warheads.

The first test-launches are slated to be held at the Plesetsk testing ground in western Russia by the end of the year.

Russia is planning for the RS-28 to enter service by the start of the next decade as a part of its ongoing push to modernize its nuclear arsenal.
