MOSCOW, 24 Dec. New York Post readers appreciated the Russian «superweapon» RS-28 «Sarmat».
The newspaper columnist Evan Simko-Bednarsky spoke about the technical characteristics of the Russian missile system, which in the West was called «Satan-2».
"Excellent soothing information — 15 warheads in one missile. Maybe curb the huge ego of the «hero of the moment» (Vladimir. — Note ed.) Zelensky and stop this conflict before it gets out of control? — wrote Jim Leymone.
The weapons demonstration provoked a strong reaction from readers.
«And? Is this a story to incite paranoia? Russia has the same right to defend itself as other countries,» — said IRISH.
«Well, well! Putin named Russian nuclear weapons after sleepy Joe,» joked Stuart Levine.
«Does Putin have the address of Biden's house in Delaware?» — Mark Werner asked with irony.
Sarmat will replace the RS-20V Voyevoda, a heavy silo-based strategic missile. The missilemen of the Uzhur missile formation should be the first to receive the new complex, since it has an important strategic position and has the necessary infrastructure for basing heavy liquid-fuel missiles. The infrastructure from the Voevoda is used to deploy the Sarmat, which significantly reduces the time and cost of deploying a new complex.
In addition, the Strategic Missile Forces are being re-equipped with the Yars mobile ground-based missile system. In 2009, this complex was the first to receive the Teykovskoye missile formation in the Ivanovo region, and it is planned to complete the rearmament next year, when the regiment in the westernmost Bologovskaya division takes up duty.
