Russia's RS-28 Sarmat Missile Test Fails Again

Recent satellite images confirm that a Russian RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile test at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome ended in failure, resulting in a massive explosion and a 200-foot-wide crater. Arms experts speculate that the failure, possibly the fourth of its kind, occurred due to either ignition issues or a catastrophic mechanical failure. The explosion caused significant damage to the launch silo and surrounding area, with potential casualties among rocket scientists. This setback highlights ongoing challenges in Russia's missile development amid the war in Ukraine and international sanctions. Russian state media has reportedly been censored from covering the incident, and the defense ministry has not responded to requests for comment.
