Russian President Vladimir Putin has suffered an emabarassing setback as his feared Satan 2 nuclear arsenal failed four out of five missile tests, according to arms experts and satellite imagery from the launch site.

High-resolution satellite images of the launch pad at Russia’s Plesetsk test site, where the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile exploded, shows extensive damage.

A crater approximately 60 meters wide at the launch silo at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia, along with visible damage in the surrounding area that was not present in images taken earlier in the month.

      Try to copy Ukrainian missile from 58 years ago

      When both Russia and Ukraine were part of the USSR?

      Second greatest military in the world!

      The USSR hasn’t existed for >30 years, since then, Ukraine and Russia have done little but feed on its corpse. Does anyone honestly think modern Russia has a better military than China?

          The USSR couldn’t have achieved a fraction of what it did without all its SSRs working together.

          Hell it probably wouldn’t have survived getting invaded by every country with a military after WWI without both Russia and Ukraine.

            And? I only said the Ukraine has been doing more to increase the quality of life for its citizens then Russia.

            Also, it’s a pretty bold claim to say that EVERY nation with a military has tried to invade. I’d like to see a list of that.
