A devastating explosion at Russia's Plesetsk Cosmodrome has left a massive crater and ignited a fire, casting doubts on the country's Sarmat missile program. The blast is suspected to have occurred during a test launch of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), marking another setback in Russia's beleaguered missile testing efforts. This incident comes amid a broader pattern of failed missile tests in Russia, with at least six tests canceled or failed since June 2023.
The Sarmat missile, also known as RS-28, is one of Russia's most formidable strategic weapons, designed to carry nuclear warheads across intercontinental distances. Despite Roscosmos declaring the Sarmat system fully operational, experts question its combat readiness due to multiple test failures. With Russia's reputation as a military powerhouse at stake, the Sarmat program's troubles raise concerns about the country's ability to maintain and modernize its strategic nuclear forces. Watch to learn more about Russia's struggling Sarmat missile program and its implications.
