Test failure of the most powerful nuke delivery system Sarmat ICBM | Seems unreliable !

Russia has faced many reverses in its so-called “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine.
The blowing up of Toropets Ammunition Depots in the last few days are some of the most significant disasters.
But apart from its war effort in Ukraine, the Russian military has now encountered a non-combat but very serious failure. 
On September 21, Russia carried out a test of the RS-28 Sarmat, a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile. Although Moscow has not disclosed the test results, analysts and OpenSource INTEL indicate that the test was unsuccessful. 
The missile seems to have exploded while in the silo, resulting in a large crater and considerable damage to the test site. 

In this video, Defense Updates reports on the test failure of the most powerful nuke delivery system Sarmat ICBM.

Imagine being a firefighter in Russia, non stop action…

Clearly, the Flux Capacitor hasn't been properly maintained.

Yet another failure of a supposed Russian super weapon

[jaimeortega]

Well, this makes sense now. The 200 tons of various liquid propellants leaked and exploded causing the cave in. I was thinking the silo was perhaps poorly constructed (and it may have been as well) and caved in during the launch. It could have been both so a real disastrous result for Russia whose military hardware just isn't what it used to be. It's mostly "infomercial junk."

[videomaniac]

Putin is rethinking his country's contract with the Three Stooges Missile Technology Services on the design and operation of their ballistic missiles.

[stevehill]

Looking at the images and the stock photos of other Sarmat launches it appears the missile is fuelled using hypergolic propellants (the red smoke makes me think of hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide or dimethylhydrazine) and the explosion in the silo reminds me of the Damascus Titan missile explosion in 1980.

[lazerwolf]

I once made a joke that if Russia ever launched missiles or nukes, it would probably either not take off or explode before leaving the silo.... I WASN'T FUCKING SERIOUS!!!

The liquid fuel seems to be z-stoff and

[HerbertShooler]

reliability is always key, the USA is and always has been ahead of Russia in this regard, they can pick a minuteman out at random and it fires perfectly with a near 100% rate, liquid fuelled rockets are notorious...better with solid fuel...Sticking 10 warheads on one rocket i not good either, rocket fails 10 warheads lost.Russia still has a cold war mentality with ICBMS....big liquid fuelled lumps.USA has superior systems much better CEP and reliability, the trident 2 remains the premier counterforce weapon of the world.

[macharper]

Does any Russian military equipment work?

[jpmangen]

It is reliable. It reliable fails all the time.

[NathanDean]

Nonsense. It’s just another ballistic missile. It can’t do anything that our ballistic missiles can’t do. It can lift more weight or deploy more warheads that’s it. The Minute Man 3 can deploy 3 warheads. The Peacekeeper ICBM that we retired in 2005 could deploy 10 warheads. We retired it because it wasn’t needed and was too expensive. Our MM:’s are old but have been upgraded through the years and will perform as good today as the day they were put into those silos. We test launch one every year. The guidance systems in all of them have been replaced and upgraddd since 1970. The MM3 has a range of more than 8800 miles which means it can hit any target inside Russia or China. The new Sentinal ICBM that is being built will be more accurate and have a range in excess of 9800 miles. It will have an accuracy of within 100 feet or about 30 meters. Right now the MM3 accuracy is within 300 feet which is still very accurate. The Russians claim this is a super weapon it is not. It’s just a bigger ballistic missile. What makes ballistic missile distinct is their range and how much weight they can lift. The MM3 can hit a target within 100 meters on the other side of the world.

This was not a failure of the Sarmat missile. It was a failure of installation. They put the pointy side down.

[rjs]

As an armchair expert on ICBM matters, i would like to point out an error. The missile actually has an effective range of 0 miles. 🤷‍♂️

[jason]

China keeps water in their missles. Russia puts hope in their missles.

[dannyblackwell]

Blimey we don't know what fuel mixture they used but from the size of that crater they got it wrong. but the maybe with all the corruption in the Russian military i'm not surprised more failures are happening. rushing things and cutting corners Cleary are not helping

[dvilz_lair]

As someone once said"pray for the survivors as the lucky ones are dead"😢

[allanbaldoque]

I dont believe it can penetrate airdefence, this is a giant missile which easy to detect by airdefence

[XX-qdke]

The Russian SARMAT ICBM has a range of 14, 000 kilometers per design... however, the Russian SARMAT ICBM has range of only 4 kilometers in all directions around their missile silos in actual application...
