Russia said on Friday (September 1) that the nuclear-capable Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile system has entered combat duty, RIA reported quoting General Director Yuri Borisov, who is the head of Russia's space agency Roscosmos
The RIA report mentioned that during the "Share Your Knowledge" marathon, Borisov said that "the Sarmat strategic complex has been put on combat duty".
The Sarmat superheavy intercontinental ballistic missile is designed to elude anti-missile defence systems with a short initial boost phase, giving enemy surveillance systems a very small window to track.
Weighing more than 200 tonnes and able to transport multiple warheads, Russian President Vladimir Putin once said that the missile could hit "any target on Earth".
