"Russia's Sarmat ICBM Enters Active Duty, Heightening Global Concerns"
Russia has deployed the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for combat duty, according to the head of state space agency Roscosmos. The Sarmat, which Putin has described as "invincible," is a next-generation missile capable of carrying nuclear charges. Weighing over 200 tons and designed to elude anti-missile defense systems, it gives enemy surveillance systems a limited window to track it down. The Sarmat is part of Russia's next-generation missile arsenal, which also includes the Kinzhal and Avangard hypersonic missiles.
