Russia has test-launched its new intercontinental ballistic missile – which Vladimir Putin has boasted can overcome any defence system.
The Sarmat missile was launched from Plesetsk in the country’s northwest and hit targets in the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east.
And the Russian president has said the weapon would provide “food for thought” for those who try to threaten his country.
“The new complex has the highest tactical and technical characteristics and is capable of overcoming all modern means of anti-missile defence,” he said.
“It has no analogues in the world and won’t have for a long time to come.”
