[SIZE=6]Russia to test unstoppable ‘Satan 2’ stealth nuke capable of wiping out an ENTIRE NATION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]Russia is preparing to test-fire a nuclear weapon which is so powerful it could reportedly destroy a whole country in seconds.
The “Satan 2” missile is rumoured to be the most powerful ever designed and is equipped with stealth technology to help it dodge enemy radar systems .
This terrifying doomsday weapon is likely to strike fear into the hearts of Western military chiefs, as current missile defence technology is totally incapable of stopping it.
Its official name is the RS-28 Sarmat and it will replace aging Soviet R-36M missiles, which NATO military experts nicknamed “Satan”.
“In this sense, the Sarmat missile will not only become the R-36M’s successor, but also to some extent it will determine in which direction nuclear deterrence in the world will develop,” the Russian news network Zvezda reported .
The missile is expected to be capable of delivering up to a dozen warheads, allowing to effectively destroy an area the “size of Texas or France”, the broadcaster continued.
“The Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles
have a range of more than 6,000 miles (9,656 km)
and can travel at speeds of up to Mach 23 (15,000
mph or 24,000 kph) and reach heights of up to 700
miles (1,120 km) above Earth.” @Jazzman any truth to this? Mach23???
It’s the type of missile that goes out to space first then reenters the earth at high speed. That mach 23 is due to terminal velocity and has not really been measured physically but by calculation
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
Same thing I think, @ that speed the friction will completely burn it off, also cant imagine the sonic boom left behind by such, would shatter everything in its wake. I think its purely theoretical, and also how much fuel would they burn per minute to achieve thag speed, and weight issues too? What kind of thrust engines are they running?
