      Working with Russian equipment would suck.

      Imagine just casually fueling a missile before everything in hundreds of feet around you is incinerated instantly.

      A missile that uses liquid rocket fuel, which requires fueling right before launching. If Ruzzians were to try to launch them against nato, more than half would probably blow up at the fueling stage. 😆

      The one thing that’s more embarrassing than wasting so much money on militarily useless novelty.. is wasting so much money on militarily useless novelty that doesn’t work, and deeply humiliated management in demos.

      At least the demo took out the maintenance personnel, instead of getting them sent to fight in Ukraine like the crew of the admiral Kuznetsov…

      *Pozor*.

      Ah, the limp rocket syndrome. Happened to many old, paranoid dictators.

      In 25 years time it’s going to be revealed we used MegaStux to neutralise much of the nuclear arsenal of our rivals.

      They are not getting their parts from the right type of washing machine.

      Didn’t read the article… Putin is having trouble getting it up?

      A significant failure for Russia’s missile program, especially given the current tensions.

      This is a v big deal. They haven’t had one blow up in its silo in decades, and this was meant to be one of their [“big six”](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_super_weapons) weapons of the future. They don’t have another test launch site for this. Converting another silo to accommodate the Sarmat would take ages, so it’s unclear if they’ll go that route or try to rebuild this silo.

      Also just absolutely humiliating and compounds the bad week Russia has had on top of the massive ammunition depot explosion at Toropets.

      This is very embarrassing. They have been hyping up this missile in their propaganda for a while now for some reason.

      >A Sarmat ICBM missile exploded during a test in Plesetsk, Russia, the OSINT project MeNMyRC has reported, publishing satellite images (ICBM stands for intercontinental ballistic missile – ed.)

      >**Source:** Russian news agency Agenstvo.Novosti; MeNMyRC, citing analyst MT Anderson

      >**Details:** MeNMyRC draws its conclusions based on satellite images showing a large crater in Plesetsk, as well as data on flights of US reconnaissance aircraft.

      >The huge crater reportedly indicates that a missile exploded in its silo destroying the test site. The fire in the area of the test site was detected by NOAA-20 and SUOMI NPP satellites, the expert said.

      >An American Boeing RC-135S Cobra Ball reconnaissance aircraft took off from a US base in Alaska to observe the Sarmat tests, MeNMyRC said, citing FlightRadar24 data. However, it did not record the launch, the report says.

      >The expert believes that the explosion possibly occurred not directly during the launch, but, for example, during the process of loading the fuel.

      >Advertisement:

      >**Background:** 

      >Earlier, Western media reported five Sarmat test launches, four of which failed.

      >According to CNBC, Sarmat’s longest test flight lasted just over two minutes: the missile flew just over 35 kilometres before losing control and crashing.

      >The only successful launch of the missile reportedly took place on 20 April 2022.

      >Russian leader Vladimir Putin ordered the Sarmat to be put on combat duty in 2022, which was not done until September 2023.

      Need to find that old Daily Show clip explaining what the Cobra Ball is. I think it came out back in 02 or so

    17. octahexxer on

      They should do the next test with a nuclear warhead…but yeah they dont trust their own brand new missile to for that.

    18. gautierbllt on

      So now at russia tv they still speaking about destroy Paris or Marseille ?

    19. verticalfist on
