Vladimir Putin has been hit with a serious problem as a £38 million Satan-2 nuclear capable missile has exploded in Russia “destroying a test site.”
The Satan-2 is one of Russia’s most powerful missiles and satellite imagery shows an enormous crater at the test site.
Planet Lab shared pictures taken at the Plesetsk cosmodrome in Arkhangelsk Oblast on social media, analyst MeNMyR said, “As is readily apparent, the RS-28 Sarmat test was a complete failure.

The missile detonated in the silo leaving a massive crater and destroying the test site.
“The Sarmat is a liquid fuelled missile so this accident could have occurred separate from the actual launch activity.
“If this occurred as part of the fuelling process, it could explain the lack of Cobra Ball activity on the day of the incident.

“This first, and last successful test of the Sarmat was April 20th, 2022. With these events now official, this is at least the 4th failed test attempt of the ‘combat operational‘ Sarmat Heavy ICBM.
“Note the 4 fire trucks responding to the forest fire.”

Kyiv military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko previously said the Satan-2 is “unreliable and dangerous.”
Speaking to RBC-Ukraine he said, “It’s a very problematic missile.
“The Russians couldn’t even manage test launches.”
A Defence Ministry statement said, “The Aerospace Forces successfully launched the Angara-1.2 launch vehicle from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome.
At 10am, from the State Test Cosmodrome of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation (Plesetsk Cosmodrome) in the Arkhangelsk Region, a combat crew of the Aerospace Forces space forces successfully launched the Angara-1.2 light launch vehicle with spacecraft in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defence.”
