This launch is the first in the Russian test program. After the completion of the test program, the Sarmat missile system will be used by the Russian missile forces, the Russian Defense Ministry says. The Sarmat missile system will replace the Voivode.
The range of “Sarmatia” is about 18 thousand kilometers, the launch mass of about 200 tons, it carries up to 10 tons of payload (separable main part of individual guidance with at least fifteen warheads) and 178 tons of fuel. It is also mentioned that the speed of pre-launch preparation of the 35-meter missile was reduced to a few tens of seconds, which in theory will allow it to compete with mobile missile systems “Poplar-M” and “Yars”, and its efficiency is four times higher than in the mentioned RTOs.
If the SNO-2 agreement came into force, the heavy ICBM class would cease to exist. However, in connection with the non-signing of the agreement in 2010 there was information about the development of a heavy ICBM in Russia to replace the armed “Satan”, the latest of which was on combat duty in 1992. Sarmat was officially announced in 2018 by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
