Is Russia capable of building new missiles "Sarmat": the expert said about the risk
As of today, the Sarmat missile has made only one test flight.
Despite all the threats to Russia, now the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Russian Federation are not capable of producing, only their mock-ups can be built there.
As Alexander Kovalenko, a military-political observer of the Information Resistance group, said, as of today, the Sarmat missile has made only one test flight.
According to the expert, this missile is unlikely to make further flights in the near future, since it is equipped with a large amount of foreign-made microelectronics, and under the sanctions, Russia does not even have the opportunity to assemble a second missile for testing.
Nevertheless, as Kovalenko added, after just one single test launch in August, the Russian Federation signed a state contract for the manufacture and supply of Sarmat missiles to Russian troops.
“Obviously, Russia is rushing things and striving to transfer to the troops as soon as possible what is called the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, which has no analogues in the world. But so far, it can only shame on this missile, demonstrating not only its production helplessness, but also total recklessness. After all, a missile that has not passed all the stages of testing, which will have to carry a nuclear warhead, is like a time bomb, dangerous, primarily for its creators, "the expert said.
