The launch of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile is the first in the state test program. This was reported in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

They noted that the flight tests made it possible to assess the correctness of the schematic design and technical solutions that were laid down when creating the Sarmat missile system. After the completion of the test program of this promising heavy-class missile with a separable head, the Sarmat complex will enter service with the Strategic Missile Forces.

At the Plesetsk cosmodrome, a successful launch of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile was carried out from a mine installation as part of state tests, the Russian Defense Ministry said. This is reported by RIA Novosti.
