Imagine just casually fueling a missile before everything in hundreds of feet around you is incinerated instantly.

A missile that uses liquid rocket fuel, which requires fueling right before launching. If Ruzzians were to try to launch them against nato, more than half would probably blow up at the fueling stage. 😆

The one thing that’s more embarrassing than wasting so much money on militarily useless novelty.. is wasting so much money on militarily useless novelty that doesn’t work, and deeply humiliated management in demos.
At least the demo took out the maintenance personnel, instead of getting them sent to fight in Ukraine like the crew of the admiral Kuznetsov…
*Pozor*.

Ah, the limp rocket syndrome. Happened to many old, paranoid dictators.

In 25 years time it’s going to be revealed we used MegaStux to neutralise much of the nuclear arsenal of our rivals.

They are not getting their parts from the right type of washing machine.

Didn’t read the article… Putin is having trouble getting it up?

A significant failure for Russia’s missile program, especially given the current tensions.

This is a v big deal. They haven’t had one blow up in its silo in decades, and this was meant to be one of their [“big six”](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_super_weapons) weapons of the future. They don’t have another test launch site for this. Converting another silo to accommodate the Sarmat would take ages, so it’s unclear if they’ll go that route or try to rebuild this silo.
Also just absolutely humiliating and compounds the bad week Russia has had on top of the massive ammunition depot explosion at Toropets.

This is very embarrassing. They have been hyping up this missile in their propaganda for a while now for some reason.

Working with Russian equipment would suck.
