Russian ICBM Sarmata missile launch likely disaster - Eastern Express - TVP World
Russia may not be that good at rocket science after all. According to Belsat, satellite footage showed a large crater in place of a launch silo at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia's northwestern Arkhangelsk region. This is where Moscow's powerful Sarmat super-heavy intercontinental ballistic missile was supposed to be test launched. Analysts believe the missile might have exploded during the refueling procedure. The missile has a range of 18,000 kilometers and can carry a variety of warhead options, including nuclear. The latest failed launch of the Sarmat was at least the fourth for this type of missile.
