The Russian Defense Ministry said that the new Sarmat missile can be equipped with Avangard hypersonic units
The new Sarmat strategic missile can be equipped with several Avangard hypersonic warheads. This was reported in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
“With the advent of Avangard, a new era has been created – the era of hypersonic weapons. Today, no one in the world who is on combat duty has it, but we have it”, said Sergei Karakaev, commander of the Strategic Missile Forces of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, he added that the Sarmat refers to a different type of missile system.
“It is based on the carrier. It is much more powerful than the Avangard carrier. In addition, it was created, among other things, for the Avangard combat equipment, given the fact that the number of Avangard warheads on this complex may be greater”, Karakaev explained.
On April 20, a successful test launch of the new intercontinental ballistic missile “Sarmat” took place at the Plesetsk cosmodrome. As Russian President Vladimir Putin later stressed, the Sarmat missile would give thought to those who threaten Russia.
In turn, America called the Russian “Sarmat” the second “Satan”. According to a military observer, retired colonel Viktor Litovkin, the appearance of this missile will ensure peace for 10-20 years.
