The RS-28 Sarmat Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, ICBM, touted by Russia as the “world’s deadliest missile,” has now been deployed, according to Roscosmos Chief, Yury Borisov.

The RS-28 Sarmat is Russia’s next-generation intercontinental ballistic missile, ICBM, anticipated to serve as the core element of the nation’s silo-based strategic deterrent.

According to a report by The Eurasian Times, the head of Roscosmos, made the announcement during an open lesson of the educational marathon hosted by Russia’s Knowledge Society on September 1, the Sarmat strategic system has been placed on “combat alert posture.”

“The Sarmat strategic complex has been put on combat duty,” he said. However, the head of Roscosmos refrained from revealing the precise deployment date or location during the announcement.

The first launch of the Sarmat ICBM was conducted on April 20, 2022, from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region. This event occurred just months after Russia invaded Ukraine.

The launch objectives were successfully met, and the missile’s design parameters were validated throughout its flight. Additionally, practice warheads reached their designated destination within the Kura training range on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

President Putin warned at the time that the missile would “give thought to those who are trying to threaten Russia.”

However, Western experts labeled the 2022 test as a form of “nuclear saber-rattling,” viewing it as a potential effort to divert attention from Russia’s military setbacks during that period, including incidents like the sinking of its Black Sea flagship, the Moskva.

In November 2022, Russia announced that the RS-28 Sarmat Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, ICBM, had entered serial production. Russian President Vladimir Putin declared on February 23 that the advanced Sarmat system would assume combat duty in Russia within the same year.
