According to media reports, the intercontinental ballistic missile "Sarmat," which Russia uses to threaten the world, experienced a catastrophic failure during testing. The explosion occurred in a silo at a testing site in Arkhangelsk Oblast, creating a large crater and destroying the testing facility.

This is the fourth unsuccessful attempt by Russia to launch the "Sarmat" missile, despite previous claims that the missile was already on combat duty. Satellite images clearly show the aftermath of the explosion and the scale of the destruction at the test site.
The "Sarmat" is an intercontinental ballistic missile presented as one of the key elements of Russia's nuclear arsenal. However, repeated failures during tests cast doubt on its readiness and effectiveness.
