Satan-2's power makes America distrust Minuteman-3

According to RT, on March 31 at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome spaceport, Russia continued to successfully test the new generation intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) RS-28 Sarmat (NATO designation Satan-2). Although announcing the successful launch of this new ICBM, Russia did not reveal anything more about the launch.

However, according to a source from the Russian Ministry of Defense, Satan-2 has terrible power that can flatten territories with an area equivalent to the US state of Texas.

Meanwhile, CNN said the destructive power of Satan-2 is 3,000 times greater than the bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima in 1945.

Russia launched Satan-2.

The Satan-2 ICBM is developed with two stages, using a liquid fuel engine developed by Energomash. The range of the Satan-2 is determined to be about 17,000-18,000 km, thereby allowing this ICBM to be able to fire in a way that bypasses the two poles of the Earth to hit the opponent.

Russia's relentless progress in the field of ICBMs has forced the Americans to reconsider their development direction. Since the Cold War, the Americans have focused on developing missiles launched from sea bases, the US has almost no intention of developing a new type of intercontinental missile, instead they only make minor improvements to the outdated Minutemen.

With this development strategy, the Americans created the Minutemen 3 version. The US continues to equip different versions of this missile and they have no intention of replacing them.

In recent years, the relationship between Russia and the United States has been deteriorating, and at the same time, Russia has increasingly demonstrated its military strength, causing the United States to begin to worry.

From here, the Americans were forced to find a way to replace Minutemen 3 with a more modern missile.

According to the Pentagon press service, the agency signed contracts with Northrop Grumman and Boeing with a total value of up to 677.8 million USD.

This contract ensures the development of a new generation of intercontinental missiles. Previously, in early August 2017, the US conducted a Minuteman 3 training launch and then the Pentagon announced that the US would not need to upgrade its intercontinental missiles.

However, they did the opposite of this statement.

This made military experts suspect that the results of the training firing did not satisfy the military leaders, so they decided to start developing a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile to counter Russia's Satan-2.
