RS-28 Sarmat "Satan 2" - Heavy Intercontinental Ballistic Missile

Описание: #RS-28 #Sarmat "Satan 2" Heavy Intercontinental Ballistic #Missile

The RS-28 Sarmat missile has some warhead options. It can carry 10 Multiple Independently-targetable Reentry Vehicles (MIRVs) with a blast yield of 0.75 MT each. Alternatively it can carry 16 smaller MIRVs, or up to 24 YU-74 hypersonic boost-glide vehicles. It is the first Russian missile capable of deploying these highly maneuverable vehicles. It can also carry a combination of warheads and countermeasures in order to penetrate hostile air defense systems. Penetration aids of the RS-28 have been improved. So this missile will be hard to intercept.

The technology used to deliver multiple warheads to different targets is called a “multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV)” or MIRV. Such devices deploy their warheads after reaching speeds that can exceed 15,000 miles per hour.
Putin described Sarmat as a “heavy,” uninterceptable ICBM with “practically unlimited range.
