Vladimir Putin has delivered a chilling warning claiming Russia has successfully launched an enormous intercontinental ballistic missile known as ‘Satan-2’.
The Kremlin war-mongering president bragged that the new Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile would give anyone thinking of threatening Moscow “food for thought”.
He believed no country on the planet is capable of stopping the newly-tested weapon, which experts calculate is capable of firing more than 10 nuclear warheads at a time.
Russia’s ministry of defence says the weapon was launched at the Plesetsk cosmodrome in the northwest of the country, and successfully hit targets in the far east.
The missile was seen emerging amid huge rocket flames and smoke from an underground silo in a video released by Moscow.
Putin, who is being investigated for war crimes committed by his forces in Ukraine, reportedly claimed the missile would “strengthen the combat potential of our armed forces”.
It is said to be able to fly 6,000 miles and be capable of targeting an area the size of France, potentially killing millions, according to Mirror Online.
Putin was shown on state TV being told by the military that the missile had been launched from Plesetsk and hit targets in the Kamchatka peninsula.
The Russian president said: “The new complex has the highest tactical and technical characteristics and is capable of overcoming all modern means of anti-missile defence.
“It has no analogues in the world and won’t have for a long time to come.
“This truly unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our armed forces, reliably ensure Russia’s security from external threats and provide food for thought for those who, in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten
