Earlier, Western media, citing satellite images, reported an incident during the testing of the Sarmat.

The Sarmat strategic missile system is intended to replace the Soviet Voevoda missiles.

The first launch of the Sarmat took place in April 2022. In February of this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the delivery of the Sarmat to the troops.
