WHY SARMAT (SATAN 2) IS THE MOST POWERFUL MISSILE IN THE WORLD ?

INTRODUCTION: Russia carried out a successful test of its RS-28 Sarmt nuclear missile as part of Zapad-2017 on Thursday night, the country’s defense ministry said. The exercise, known as Zapad-2017, is the latest iteration of a series of training maneuvers that began under the Soviet Union in the 1970s. After a long break following the collapse of communism, Zapad was revived in 1999 and then was expanded after Vladimir Putin became president at the end of that year. Zapad, “west“ in Russian, used to include military forces from countries under the Warsaw Pact, the Soviet-led military alliance whose non-Soviet members have now all joined Nato. Today, the military exercise has shrunk to just two participants — Russia and Belarus — but it is still viewed warily by military planners in the West. It has been developed by Russian missile design company the Makeyev Design Bureau. In this video, Defense Updates analyses why it the most powerful missile in the world ?
