The Russian strategic missile system “Sarmat” is potentially capable of destroying an area larger than France or the US state of Texas. The magazine writes about it Military Watch Magazine.
As noted in the material, the adoption of these facilities for service further increased the gap in the military potential of the Russian Federation and the USA. We are talking specifically about the capabilities of the strategic missile forces on the ground.
“The United States’ intercontinental ballistic missile arsenal is by far the oldest and least developed in the world. It consists of Minuteman III missiles that were produced in the 1970s and have undergone almost no modernization,” the article says.
The publication emphasized that the former Russian President Vladimir Putin said that there is no similar Sarmat in the world. According to the head of state, the new complex has outstanding tactical and technical characteristics and is capable of withstanding all modern missile defense systems.
“Potentially a Sarmatian has the capacity to destroy an area larger than France or Texas,” the authors of the publication said.
According to the magazine, Moscow decided to use the Sarmat due to the continued involvement of NATO countries in the Ukrainian conflict. The article explains that the North Atlantic Alliance is actively increasing its presence in the war zone.
