Russia’s Satan 2 Nuke Could Wipe Out the UK in Seconds
It would reach UK in 200 Seconds and US in 14 Minutes
A Russian television host has explained how a massive nuclear missile called “Satan 2” could wipe out the UK in seconds. The RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, weighing 20 tonnes, has a 11,000 mile range, travels at 16,000mph and can carry 15 nuclear warheads, the Express reports.
Television Presenter Vladimir Solovyov said, “one Sarmat means minus one Great Britain”.
It would take just 200 seconds to get from Russia to London, 210 seconds to reach Paris, and just 15 seconds to reach Finland and Sweden. To reach the USA, it’d take 14 minutes.
Putin said the weapon will, “reliably ensure Russia’s security from external threats and provide food for thought for those who, in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country”.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Ian Williams, from the Centre for Strategic and International Studies suggested that the missile is, “probably the most destructive single weapon on earth,” adding, “It could destroy 10 cities with one missile” because the warheads carried by the missile can each be programmed to target different locations.
It’s all quite alarming, but it’s also worth remembering that Russia and western nations have had the ability to destroy each other for many decades . They’ve been on different sides in a range of conflicts, yet failed to launch nuclear attacks.
