Putin praises Russia’s successful test launch of powerful missile

Russia has successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, which President Vladimir Putin claims is the world’s most powerful missile. Putin announced that the Sarmat will enter combat service by the end of the year, boasting a range of over 35,000 km and the ability to evade existing missile defense systems. This test comes amid concerns about the collapse of nuclear arms control agreements between the US and Russia, following the expiration of the New START treaty.
