Russian President Vladimir Putin has suffered an emabarassing setback as his feared Satan 2 nuclear arsenal failed four out of five missile tests, according to arms experts and satellite imagery from the launch site.
High-resolution satellite images of the launch pad at Russia’s Plesetsk test site, where the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile exploded, shows extensive damage.
A crater approximately 60 meters wide at the launch silo at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia, along with visible damage in the surrounding area that was not present in images taken earlier in the month.
The US at least regularly tests its missiles. They shoot from California toward a Pacific island into a painted target.
Modern ICBMs are insanely accurate.
Ya but not with a nuclear nomb just a dummy payload.
yeah, that was why i asked about, testing missiles is not weird at all. Testing nuclear bombs would be very weird.
Nukes are tested on super computers since the treaty band.
Except for North Korea while it was catching up.
that’s the general strat, but nothing competes with real world testing fortunately for us, having tested thousands of nukes over the years.
