People do not understand how big...and how dangerous...this is.
BREAKING: Russia says it has successfully tested the RS-28 Sarmat ICBM — one of the most powerful nuclear delivery systems ever built.
Why this matters:
The Sarmat is not just “another missile.” It is designed specifically to bypass existing and future Western missile defense systems and restore Russia’s strategic nuclear leverage in a rapidly changing world.
What makes it different:
• Intercontinental range reportedly exceeding 18,000 km
• Designed to carry multiple MIRVs (independently targetable nuclear warheads)
• Hypersonic-capable delivery systems
• Massive payload capacity
• Ability to potentially approach targets over the South Pole, bypassing traditional northern missile defense architecture
• Intended to overwhelm missile shields through speed, decoys, and saturation attacks
Russian officials claim no current missile defense system can reliably intercept it.
At the same time:
• Ukraine and Germany are deepening drone cooperation
• European leaders are warning they cannot allow a Russian victory
• NATO and Russia continue escalating strategic messaging
• Nuclear deterrence doctrine is becoming central again in global politics
This is why the Sarmat test matters far beyond Russia.
It signals:
a return to Cold War-style strategic competition
increased pressure on NATO missile defense systems
rising risks of escalation and miscalculation
a new era of arms race dynamics involving hypersonics, drones, AI, and nuclear deterrence
Fog of war is real. Verify everything. Is the world entering a new nuclear arms race?
