RS-28 Sarmat
NATO: SS-X-30 Satan IIنظرة عامة على النظام
The RS-28 Sarmat (SS-X-29 Satan 2) is Russia's new heavy liquid-fuelled ICBM replacing the R-36M2 Voevoda. It carries 10-15 MIRV warheads or a combination of warheads and Avangard hypersonic glide vehicles, with an 18,000 km range enabling attacks via polar or depressed trajectories to avoid US missile defence radars. First test flight was in April 2022; however a subsequent test in September 2024 resulted in a silo explosion and destruction of the test missile. Deployment has been delayed. The Sarmat is silo-based at Uzhur and Dombarovsky, limiting survivability vs a first strike, but its range and payload dwarf any other ICBM in service.

Radar cross-section management at this level requires trade-offs in payload capacity that tacticians need to understand.
