plesetsk - The latest Russian ICBM Sarmat faced a catastrophic failure during a test launch, resulting in a huge explosion and significant damage at the launching site in Plesetsk.

A photo taken before the failed rocket test shows the launch platform shining white in the sunshine. A second photo taken shortly after the test reveals a completely different scene. A large blackened crater and little remains of the platform. It's clear that something went terribly wrong in Plesetsk.

The crater, approximately 62 meters in diameter, indicates a probable explosion shortly after ignition or launch, according to analyst George Barros. The failed rocket test is not only a setback for a strategic Russian weapon system but also a win in the information warfare for Ukraine.

Details surrounding the incident at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome remain unclear. When asked for clarification, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin, stated, 'We have no information on this issue.' Lack of official statements leaves room for speculation, but satellite images and indirect evidence suggest a failed rocket test occurred.

Based on available information, it is suspected that the rocket test took place on September 19, resulting in an explosion during the launch. Pavel Podvig, a Russian blogger, highlights the aftermath of a fire in Plesetsk, indicating a significant mishap.

The RS-28 Sarmat, nicknamed Satan-2, is Russia's latest ICBM, known for its long-range capabilities and multiple warhead payload. Despite its impressive features, the development of the Sarmat has faced challenges, with only one successful launch since its introduction in 2018.

Analysts stress the importance of rigorous testing, noting that the rushed operational status of Satan-2 raises concerns. The geopolitical context, including sanctions on Russia, adds complexity to the missile program.

Maxim Starchak of the Carnegie Endowment emphasizes the risks associated with the premature deployment of the Sarmat, highlighting the unique circumstances surrounding its introduction into service.
