| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] The first Sarmat missile regiment will be on combat alert by the end of 2026. Sergey Karakayev, commander of the Strategic Missile Forces (SMF), reported this to Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 12. Putin was informed that the first Sarmat regiment would be placed on combat duty by the end of the year. He also noted that the regiment will be on duty in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. "I congratulate you and wish you continued success," Putin said following his report. In 2025, Putin announced that systems with the Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missile would enter combat duty in 2026. The head of state emphasized that Russia poses no threat to anyone and, like other nuclear powers, is developing its capabilities. Putin also noted that the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile has the longest range of any missile system known in the world. On October 26 of that year, the Russian leader announced the completion of tests of the Burevestnik missile, which has an unlimited range. On October 29, Putin announced the successful testing of the Poseidon underwater unmanned vehicle. He noted that the Poseidon is significantly more powerful than the most advanced domestic intercontinental ballistic missile, the Sarmat, and emphasized that no other weapon like it exists anywhere in the world. |
