Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed to provide his troops with whatever they need to win the war in Ukraine and warned a new “Satan II” hypersonic missile would be ready for deployment soon.
The hypersonic Sarmat missile, dubbed Satan II, is likely to be added to the Kremlin’s artillery in the new year.
It is thought each Satan II warhead can carry up to 10 nuclear warheads at five times the speed of sound, with a range of 12,000 miles.
During a televised end-of-year meeting with Moscow’s military chiefs, Putin insisted that money would be no barrier to providing troops with the latest weapons.
However, Putin gave little away in terms of strategy as his invasion of Ukraine continues, as he heralded Russian soldiers and defence chiefs as “heroes”.
