Satan-2 nuke can ‘demolish half coast of a continent’ if Russia doesn’t like its ‘aggressive policy’

Russia’s new Satan-2 hypersonic nuclear missile can demolish ‘half the coast of a continent’, schoolchildren and students have been told by a close ally of Vladimir Putin.

The latest threat to unleash atomic weapons on the West was made by Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos.

He showed videos of multiple Russian strategic rockets at a ‘federal educational marathon’ called ‘New Horizons’, culminating in outlining the capability of the big beast Sarmat, also known as Satan-2, an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking targets at 15,880mph.

‘Here you see the test launches of our missiles,’ he boasted.

‘The smallest are shown on Red Square parades… The largest will not fit on Red Square, as they are too big.’

He told his young audience: ‘Now you can see [on video] Topol, Yars, submarine missile Bulava … and finally Sarmat…

‘Such a missile [Sarmat] can demolish half of the coast of some large continent, which we may not like due to its aggressive policy.’

He made clear that ‘unstoppable’ Satan-2 would ‘take up combat duty’ this autumn.

‘We are also producing Iskanders and hypersonic Kinzhals in our factories,’ said Rogozin, who wore the space agency’s uniform as he spoke.

His threat of a nuclear attack is the latest by Russian officials and Putin’s state media propaganda tsars.

Some experts see the atomic attack threats as masking the poor performance by the Kremlin’s armed forces in Ukraine.

The supposedly new generation of weapons comes as Putin’s war machine falters in Ukraine with some estimates saying that the dictator has lost up to a third of Russia’s troops since the February 24 invasion. 

On Wednesday, Yury Borisov, the man in charge of military development in Putin’s government, claimed new mobile laser radiation system Peresvet could ‘blind’ all satellite reconnaissance systems of an ‘enemy’ up to an orbit of 1,500km [932 miles].

Rogozin boasted of the capabilities of the big beast Sarmat missile, also known as Satan-2, an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking targets at 15,880mph.

Students and school children, almost all born during the rule of Vladimir Putin, asked questions to the head of Roscosmos

But Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelensky mocked the new system as ‘wunderwaffe’, which translates as ‘wonder weapon’ in German.

Such claims of fantastic new technology was a key part of Hitler’s propaganda campaign to preserve public confidence as Allied forces and the Soviet Union slowly began to overcome Nazi Germany’s military during the Second World War.

Recent days have seen a state TV broadcast suggest Britain should be bombed back to the Stone Age ‘in ten minutes’ with an attack by new nuclear-capable Zircon – or Tsirkon – missiles.

Politician Aleksey Zhuravlyov and TV propagandist Dmitry Kiselyov had earlier advocated striking Britain with Satan-2.

And Russian state TV pundit, Yaakov Kedmi, a Moscow-born former Israeli diplomat, said Russia’s new hypersonic Zircon missile should be deployed to wipe out 50 or 60 power stations in the UK ‘in ten minutes’, plunging the country into darkness.

Kedmi, speaking on one of Russia’s most-watched talk shows, said it would be ‘overkill’ to use the Sarmat missile – which is said to be capable of carrying 12 nuclear warheads – on Britain.

Instead, he said, the UK should be targeted with the 6,670mph Zircon missiles.

Politician Aleksey Zhuravlyov and another TV propagandist Dmitry Kiselyov had earlier advocated striking Britain with the Sarmat missile, also known as Satan-2. 

Earlier, Rogozin had claimed that the NATO countries could be destroyed within half an hour.
