The head of Roscosmos threatened that a new hypersonic nuclear missile "will demolish half the coast of a hostile continent"
The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said that the Sarmat nuclear hypersonic complex is capable of "demolishing half of the coast of the continent", which Russia considers hostile, writes the Daily Mail. Readers of the tabloid speculate about the development of a conflict of this magnitude.
The new Russian hypersonic nuclear missile "Sarmat" (according to the NATO classification: Satan-2 or "Satan") can destroy "half the coast" of the enemy continent, a close associate of Vladimir Putin told schoolchildren and students.
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos, was the last of Putin's officials to threaten the West with atomic weapons, showing videos of Russian strategic missiles at the so-called "federal educational marathon" called "New Horizons". Its culmination was a review of the capabilities of a new monster called "Sarmat" — an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting targets at a speed of 25 thousand kilometers per hour.
"Here you can see the test launches of our missiles," he boasted to his young audience. — The smallest ones are exhibited at parades on Red Square. And the biggest ones on Red Square will not fit — they are too big."
The video showed missiles "Topol", "Yars", underwater "Mace" and, finally, "Sarmat".
"Such a missile can demolish half of the coast of the continent that we will not like with its aggressive policy," Rogozin said. According to him, the "unstoppable" "Sarmat" will begin to enter service in the fall.
"And our factories also produce Iskanders and hypersonic Daggers,— Rogozin recalled.
The Rogozin nuclear threat is the latest in a series of high—profile statements by Russian officials.
Some experts believe that the threat of a nuclear attack is a screen for the weak achievements of the Kremlin army in Ukraine. It is claimed that new weapons pop up whenever Putin's military machine malfunctions.
On Wednesday, the curator of the military-industrial complex, Yuri Borisov, said that the new mobile laser complex "Peresvet" will be able to "blind" all enemy satellite reconnaissance systems in orbit up to 1.5 thousand kilometers.
Borisov's words should be understood to mean that Russia can disable satellites and a number of other systems that the United States uses to monitor Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles.
In addition, according to Borisov, a separate laser system will be created to destroy enemy drones with a powerful thermal pulse.

In recent days, the idea has been voiced on Russian television that the Zircon nuclear missiles will send the UK back to the Stone Age.
Earlier, politician Alexey Zhuravlev and TV journalist Dmitry Kiselyov advocated strikes against the UK.
And Yakov Kedmi, a former Israeli diplomat and now an expert on Russian television, said that the Zircons would be able to destroy 50 to 60 power plants in the UK "in ten minutes", plunging the country into darkness.
On one of the most popular talk shows in the country, Kedmi said that it would be "inappropriate" to use Sarmat with its twelve warheads against the UK. Instead, he believes, it is quite possible to hit the country with "Zircons" at a speed of over 10 thousand kilometers per hour.
Rogozin himself had previously claimed that NATO countries could be destroyed within half an hour.

Can Putin please explain what an "aggressive policy" is?
Aspergic One
Listen, Russia, but we don't like your aggressive policy. Maybe we should also threaten with a nuclear bomb now, eh?
AnfieldLegend
The UK supplies weapons to Ukraine and openly encourages attacks inside Russia — in general, it conducts an aggressive policy. What else did you expect?
AnfieldLegend
Is it the case with the British — all love and compassion, tell me?

And what will happen to Russia itself if they launch it, he thought? The whole world will move back to the caves.

When you have a super weapon, you won't brag to your enemies about its incredible capabilities. He's just bluffing.

Is this still happening? For some reason, everyone forgot about the corpses in Ukraine, about the troops... and Zelensky is probably on vacation, right? Suspiciously

Why would NATO invade Russia? So strain yourself to eventually run into the Russians?!

Gas and oil.

Britain is not a continent, you can relax.

They're just angry that their vaunted vaccine failed. Give the world beauty, like Faberge, and we will love you. Give destruction, and we will hate you.

Let the crazy leadership of Sweden and Finland listen to him better. Your aggressive policy towards Russia is extremely risky!

For the sake of world peace, aim these missiles at London, Washington and Brussels!

I don't want my country to wage a globalist war against Russia — especially when our government is at war with its own people.

Maybe Russia won't win, but it won't lose for sure.

People, stock up on canned food and build bunkers.

He tells Russian schoolchildren how Russia can destroy half the continent, and we tell our own that there are gender—neutral toilets and that women are no longer women, because this is disrespectful to transgender people and so on. If anyone's crazy, it's us.

Now I probably won't buy a house on the coast...
