Putin Announces Readiness of Powerful Nuclear Missile 'Satan II' by Year-End

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, known as 'Satan II' by NATO, will be combat-ready by the end of this year following a successful test. With a range exceeding 10,000 kilometers, the missile can carry up to 16 nuclear warheads, significantly surpassing Western counterparts. This announcement comes after a series of delays and a failed test in September 2024. The timing of the missile's test is notable, occurring after a subdued Victory Day parade, which was scaled back due to security concerns amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine. Putin emphasized the need for military focus on defeating adversaries in what Russia refers to as its 'special military operation' in Ukraine.
