On April 20, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the first test launch of the Sarmat ICBM from the Plesetsk cosmodrome.

It has no analogues in the world and will not be for a long time," Russian President Vladimir Putin said on April 20 after watching the successful test launch of the Sarmat by video link.

On May 22, the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, announced that Russia will soon put about 50 Sarmat ICBMs on combat duty. Prior to that, Rogozin said that serial deliveries of these missiles to the Russian Defense Ministry are planned to begin by the end of autumn this year.

It was officially reported that the RS-28 Sarmat ICBM will replace the world's most powerful mine-based strategic missile RS-20V Voevoda (according to NATO classification - SS-18 Satan). in the Uzhurskaya (Krasnoyarsk Territory) and Dombarovskaya (Orenburg region) divisions of the RVSN.

The Sarmat missile can be equipped with several Avangard hypersonic combat units, the commander of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces, Sergei Karakaev, said on April 24.
