The RS-28 Sarmat rocket "is capable of wiping out parts of the earth the size of Texas or France," Russian state news outlet Sputnik reported in May. The image was published by the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau on its website. Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borsiov said the Sarmat warhead was capable of destroying targets flying across both North and South Poles, Russian state news agency TASS reported Tuesday.

The SS-18 was the original one with the name and it was designated that by nato because of its destructive capacity and the potential ability to give the soviet union a "first strike" capability (though this is primarily theoretical due to early warning systems and the US ballistics missile submarine fleet). This one is the successor to that particular weapon and that's why you get the "2" designation, as i understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a nuclear weapon, designed to destroy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
