'Satan II': Russia reveals terrifying new super nuke

Russia have unveiled the latest addition to their terrifying arsenal, a nuclear missile powerful enough destroy Britain… twice.

President Vladimir Putin struck fear into his enemies when he vowed to replace his collection of SS-18 weapons aka ‘the Satan’.

However it’s his latest toy, ‘Sarmat’ or ‘Satan 2’ that really caught the world’s eye after it was announced that it would be rolled out by 2018.

Covering more than 7km per second with an expected range of 10,000km, the super nuke is currently undergoing trials near Miass.

This would allow Moscow to attack European cities as well as reaching the east and west coasts of the US. The Sarmat has also been designed to outfox anti-missile shield systems.

Kremlin engineers have released the first image of the bomb that is capable of destroying an area the size of France, along with the following statement:

“In accordance with the Decree of the Russian Government ‘On the State Defense Order for 2010 and the planning period 2012-2013’, the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau was instructed to start design and development work on the Sarmat.

“In June 2011, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a state contract for the Sarmat’s development.

“The prospective strategic missile system is being developed in order to create an assured and effective nuclear deterrent for Russia’s strategic forces.”
