Russia tried to test the RS-28 “Sarmat” ICBM, but the missile simply exploded in the launch shaft and left behind a huge crater at the training ground in Plesetsk, Arkhangelsk region. According to information from open sources, this is already the 4th unsuccessful launch of this missile.

1. Remember, this is the country that claims to be the direct rival and equivalent of the United States

2. Pathetic, but what goes for Putin and his impotence goes for his missile program, premature and unsatisfying.

3. Good missile!!!

4. test went fine, successful results on the picture

5. Why is Putin hating ruzzia that much. They never did anything wrong. 🤭

6. Missile cause crater in ground . Test successful

7. i just learned that sarmat is supposed to mean samaratin, as in good samaratin. Not sure how a possibly nueclear missile can in any way be caracterized as a person aiding a broken homeless person back to health in their own home providing food and a bit of money when it came time so say their farewells. I guess conservatives/ fascists the world over sure love to basterize the actually good morals the bible held. I guess thats why nato calls it Satan.

8. Is Completely Bad Missile.

   Russia downgrading definitions like a boss.

9. Word SARMATa is a shame in Lithuanian, so its check’s out.

10. So not quite to Washington yet.

11. I’m wondering, in case of nuclear war, how many of their launched missiles never leave territory of russia and explode there, like 5 of 6?

12. The brain drain has left. Or, clearly getting advice from NK!

13. Drink a bottle of vodka and try again

14. Putler has to buy a train ticket to North Korea.

15. they could fuck up a wet dream I swear

16. US was spending almost as much as the entire Russian defense budget per annum just for the maintenance of our nukes, before 2020. Russian clowns threatening the west with their nuke is a bad joke.

17. Not great, not terrible. At least it exploded

18. ::points::

    ::laughs::

19. As far as I know (if I’m wrong, please correct me), Russia still uses liquid propellant for their ICBMs. They use very fucking nasty oxidizers that need a lot of maintenance or they will destroy whatever they are housed in eventually. If this story is true and this is their 4th unsuccessful launch, I guess the inbuilt corruption mechanisms are working out great for everyone involved. Also, if this is the state of their missile delivery platform, I’d hate to see the state of their actual warhead. I know they have thousands and you only really need 1 to work to devastate a country, but still it scares me to think what decades of neglect has done to those decaying plutonium cores

20. They’re spread too thin and cutting corners that can’t be cut. In every economic sphere they are a shell running on empty.

21. Did Elon help out?

22. Weren’t these guys laughing when HMS Vangard failed it’s test launch earlier in the year….. a bit hypocritical

23. Best country, best army, best, best, best……

24. So they have the whole explosion side of things down but not the flight part yet
