Source: In the next week, Russia may launch the first ICBM "Sarmat"
For the period from September 29 to October 1, it is planned to launch a certain flying object from Plesetsk at a test site in Kamchatka. Earlier, the military command announced plans to test the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles in the third quarter of this year.
If "Sarmat" starts from Plesetsk, it will be the first full-fledged launch of the 15A28 rocket. Before that, only throw tests took place. Meanwhile, back in December last year, the head of the Russian defense department, Sergei Shoigu, announced the need to build a test site in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for testing these ballistic missiles.
The notification for two fields of falling under the steps suggests something MIT (MIT - Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering) and quite traditional, i.e. not Sirena-M, but Topol-M or some of the Yars. Although, what do we know about Sirena-M "and its test program ... However, high officials have repeatedly promised to start flight tests of" Sarmat "in the third quarter of this year. Therefore, despite the configuration of the fall fields, there are still some chances of launching exactly 15A28
- the authors of the Voenno-boltovoy telegram channel argue.
ICBMs "Sarmat" will ensure the security of Russia for the next three to four decades. This missile system is intended to replace the heaviest missile in the world "Voevoda", having the ability to reach targets through the North and South Poles and overcoming the anti-missile defenses of potential adversaries.
