"Terrifying simulation shows Putin's new nuclear missile striking U.S."

A frightening simulation has shown the impact Russia’s new nuclear missile could have on the United States. It was recently revealed that Vladimir Putin confirmed he had successfully tested the new Sarmat strategic weapon.

The missile has the ability to carry a nuclear warhead. The Russian leader eerily boasted that Sarmat was the “most powerful missile in the world”. Speaking on Russian State TV, Putin said: “It has the ability to penetrate all existing ​and future anti-missile defence systems.”

While missile force commander Sergei Karakayev added: “The deployment of launchers equipped ​with the Sarmat missile system will significantly enhance ​the combat capabilities of the ground-based strategic nuclear forces ​in terms of guaranteeing the destruction of targets and ⁠solving strategic deterrence problems.”

Putin claimed Sarmat II - which translates to satan - had a range four times greater than any western missile. It is thought it could reach up to 35,000km (21,750 miles).

Now a terrifying simulation from YouTube channel GeoTop60 has shown the impact Sarmat could have on the United States.

The simulation claims that Sarmat would reach the US in somewhere between “20 and 25 minutes”. It claims the American equivalent of Sarmat would take 10 minutes longer to reach Russia.
