Russia has successfully tested its latest intercontinental ballistic missile, the country's military said Friday. The Defence Ministry said the launch from Plesetsk in northwestern Russia tested the Sarmat missile's performance in the initial stage of its flight. Presenting Sarmat and an array of other nuclear weapons earlier this month, President Vladimir Putin said that they can't be intercepted. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the Sarmat is larger, goes farther and carries a bigger number of nuclear warheads than its predecessor. He added that Sarmat also carries a bigger number of nuclear warheads which are more powerful than the ones on Satan.
