“Thanks to MT_Anderson for providing this image to Planet Labs and allowing it to be published with comments. As you can easily see, the RS-28 “Sarmat” test ended in complete failure. Pay attention to the 4 fire engines responding to the forest fire,” the message reads.
It is noted that since “Sarmat” uses liquid fuel, this accident could have happened without an actual launch.
The first and last successful test of the Sarmat took place on April 20, 2022, marking at least the fourth failed test of this heavy ICBM.
Russia conducted tests of the Sarmat missile at the Plesetsk cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region.
