Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the readiness of the RS-28 Sarmat nuclear-capable missiles, commonly referred to as Satan II, for combat duty. This directive comes in response to concerns regarding the potential arming of Ukraine with nuclear weapons, which the Kremlin has labeled an 'insane' idea that could push the world to the 'brink of catastrophe.' The order reflects escalating tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, as officials indicate that Russia's patience with these developments is waning. The Satan II missiles are recognized for their significant destructive capability, heightening the stakes in the ongoing geopolitical conflict.
