As suspense continues over weather Key will get the permission
to use long range Western missiles to strike deep behind
enemy lines in neighbouring Russia, a fresh threat has been
issued from Moscow.
The speaker of Russia's lower House of parliament and a
member of Putin's Security Council has warned of a nuclear
war in case the West were to green light the
long range strikes.
Take a look at this the Walidan said that it
would take Russias RS28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile under 3
1/2 minutes to strike Strasbourg where the European Parliament meets.
Let's find out more about what this missile is capable
of which is known in the West as Satan 2
and is dubbed as the deadliest nuclear missile in the
world by Moscow.
Now Satan 2 or RS20H Armat has an operational range
of up to 18,000 kilometers and what that means is
that it can target almost any location on earth.
This means that the Satan 2 can travel in any
territory and can fly from North to the South Pole.
It is a three stage liquid fueled intercontinental ballistic missile.
The Satan 2 can be equipped with multiple independently targetable
reentry vehicles weighing up to 10 tons or that's somewhere
close to 10,000 kilograms.
Now the missile can be armed with anywhere between 10
and a 15 number of warheads or a combination of
warheads and countermeasures, including dummy warheads to confuse enemy missile
defenses.
The Sarmat can carry up to two dozen avant-garde hypersonic
glide vehicles, making it an even more formidable weapon.
The name Sarmat is based upon the nomadic Sammatian tribes
which used to live between 6th and the 4th century
BC in current territories of Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
Now viewers.
While its development began somewhere in the in the 2000s,
Russia completed its first prototype of the missile in late
2015.
Moscow deployed the ballistic missile on combat duty in September
last year.
