The West believes that Russia tested an intercontinental ballistic missile

Russia's Strategic Missile Forces conducted a major test of an intercontinental ballistic missile on the morning of April 3, Western observers report. They believe Moscow launched it at the Kura missile range on its Far Eastern Arctic coast.

While the Russian Strategic Missile Forces were testing the missile, two US Air Force RC-135S Cobra Ball ballistic missile tracking aircraft, as well as US Air Force KC-135 tankers, took off from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska.




Last week it became known that the Strategic Missile Forces were going to conduct another test firing of the RS-28 Sarmat missile from a launch position in Plesetsk, Arkhangelsk region, in the direction of the Kura training ground in Kamchatka.

Earlier it was reported that Russia adopted and successfully remained on combat duty the newest intercontinental ballistic missile RS-28 Sarmat, or UR-100N UTTH gives the ability of the Strategic Missile Forces to “calm down” absolutely any enemy, including the United States, at any time. Moscow is now in a position to launch a lightning-fast global strike with the 15P771 Avangard missile system as a response to NATO, regardless of whether it concerns the European or North American theater of operations.
