named dubbed “Satan 2” this week — with President Vladimir Putin yet again threatening the potential for nuclear war.was launched Wednesday in northern Russia, with its practice warheads successfully reaching mock targets more than 3,500 miles away on the far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, the Kremlin said.
Putin — who has repeatedly threatened to use his nuclear arsenal since invading Ukraine in late February — said the test should provide “food for thought” for the West. He bragged that the missile “has the highest tactical and technical characteristics and is capable of overcoming all modern means of anti-missile defense.”
Igor Korotchenko, editor in chief of Russia’s National Defence magazine, called it proof that the Kremlin was capable of delivering “crushing retribution that will put an end to the history of any country that has encroached on the security of Russia and its people.”
