Images show Russia’s new Sarmat missile suffered major test failure, researchers say

According to some researchers and analysts, Russia's new Sarmat missile appears to have failed a recent test. In images released and analyzed by these experts, it looks like the missile failed to take off correctly or fully reach its intended trajectory. Details about when the test took place and how severe the failure were, are still unclear. The Russian authorities have not yet commented on these claims. The Sarmat missile is a part of Russia's modernization plan for its nuclear forces, promising great distance and payload capabilities. Therefore, any failure could be a setback for these plans. However, it should also be noted that missile tests often involve failures, and they contribute to identifying issues that need to be fixed before the system can be fully operational.
