00:00Russia has just test-launched the Sarmat Intercontinental Ballistic Missile,
00:04known in the West as Satan II,
00:06and President Vladimir Putin is making sure the world knows exactly what it can do.
00:11Putin declared the Sarmat is, quote,
00:14the most powerful missile in the world.
00:16He says its warhead yield is more than four times higher than any Western counterpart.
00:22The missile is capable of suborbital flight,
00:25giving it a range of more than 35,000 kilometers.
00:29More than enough to strike any city in the United States from Russian territory.
00:33Moscow to New York is 7,500 kilometers.
00:37The Sarmat covers it.
00:39Putin says the first regiment equipped with the Sarmat will be deployed by the end of 2026.
00:46The test launch was timed to coincide with Putin's victory parade claims
00:50that the war in Ukraine is nearing an end,
00:53and follows the Congressional Budget Office's estimate
00:56that Trump's Golden Dome missile defense system
00:58would cost $1.2 trillion to build.
01:02Military analysts say the Sarmat is specifically designed
01:05to defeat any missile defense system
01:07the United States or its allies could build.
01:10It is the direct response to Golden Dome.
01:13Before Golden Dome even exists,
