The mines of the newest Russian intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) "Sarmat" are reliably protected from a nuclear strike. Vladimir Degtyar, General Designer of the State Rocket Center (SRC) Makeev, told TASS about this.
According to him, the Sarmata mine is "a complex engineering structure that not only ensures the launch of a missile, but also guarantees its safety both when hit by conventional precision weapons and nuclear weapons." As it became known to the agency, the rocket "under any conditions and is guaranteed to fulfill its task, no matter what."
According to Degtyar, Sarmat is the "crown of rocket technology" and is made entirely of Russian components. "Its development and production involves the cooperation of exclusively Russian industrial enterprises using the latest domestic technologies and materials. The sanctions imposed do not affect the progress of the work in any way," said the general designer of the State Rocket Center (SRC) Makeeva.
In June, on the pages of Izvestia, military expert Dmitry Kornev noted that "there are no such missiles in service in any army in the world."
In the same month, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the first complex of Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles "Sarmat" will be on combat duty at the end of the year.
