The world's top intercontinental missile will enter service next year, with a range of up to 18000 kilometers

As the two strongest military powers in the world, the United States and Russia are chasing each other in military development. As for the United States, its massive aircraft carrier battle group dominates the world and frequently enters Russian waters for provocations. Although Russia only has one frequently accident prone Kuznetsov carrier, it uses asymmetric methods to deal with American aircraft carriers and develops one weapon after another to strike them, such as nuclear submarines, nuclear torpedoes, intercontinental missiles, and hypersonic missiles. It is not an exaggeration to say that the world's number one intercontinental missile will enter service next year, with a range of up to 18000 kilometers, which cannot be separated from itsensorRussia's achievements in the field of missiles far surpass those of the United States.

At this point, the Pentagon also bowed its head and acknowledged Russia's achievements in intercontinental missiles. Sources also revealed that the White House is concerned about the danger of being destroyed by Russian intercontinental missiles at any time, and even worried about triggering a nuclear war. At that time, the United States and even the world may face a major disaster, and no one can avoid it, after all, the Russian military's current intercontinental missiles are aimed at the US mainland and can strike at any time. Taking the "Salmat" intercontinental missile as an example, its powerful combat capability has made the United States wary, and Russia has also firmly established its position as a "missile power".

Many people are very curious about the power of the "Salmat" missile?Why can it make the United States feel fearful? It is worth noting that this missile has not been officially put into service, but according to information disclosed by various parties, its overall thrust greatly exceeds that of ordinary missiles, its performance is superior, and it can exert great combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

Previously, TASS reported that the ground testing of the missile was nearing completion and was expected to enter service in 2022. The Russian side also claimed that this intercontinental missile would become a "defender" of Russian national security.

It is reported that the "Sarmat" intercontinental missile has a length of 35.5 meters,a diameter of 3 meters, and a maximum range of 18000 kilometers. This means that it can cover half of the Earth at once. More importantly, this missile can carry 10 large nuclear warheads or 16 small nuclear warheads, each of which can attack different targets.

According to the information disclosed by the Russian side, the missile mainly targets the east and west coasts of the United States, which makes the Pentagon very uneasy. What worries the United States even more is that once the "Salmat" intercontinental missile is used in conjunction with the "Vanguard" hypersonic missile,the United States cannot intercept it at all. Perhaps before realizing it, multiple missiles have already attacked the US mainland.

Previously, Jane's Defense Weekly also listed a ranking of the comprehensive performance of active intercontinental missiles worldwide. On this list, the Dongfeng-41 ranked second in the world, followed by the "Salmat" intercontinental missile. It seems that even China's Dongfeng-41 is willing to fall behind?Now, the world's top missile is about to enter service, posing a serious threat to the United States to a large extent. Some American experts suggest that the White House and Russia restart negotiations on reducing strategic nuclear weapons.
