vladimir putin issues chilling new ww3 warning after successful test of experimental nuclear missile

The video captures the enigmatic intercontinental ballistic missile being fired from the Kapustin Yar testing site in Russia’s Astrakhan region

Vladimir Putin has sent a stark new WW3 warning following the successful trial of an experimental nuclear missile, as alarming footage of what is believed to be a nuclear missile test surfaced.

The video captures the enigmatic intercontinental ballistic missile being fired from the Kapustin Yar testing site in Russia’s Astrakhan region. The Russian defence ministry hasn’t discolosed the specifics of the weapon, only revealing that it was dispatched from a mobile land-based launcher.

This test forms part of the government’s evaluation programme for both existing and prospective missile technologies, amidst escalating tensions between Russia and Western nations due to the situation in Ukraine.

Kremlin spokespeople have confirmed the success of the launch, stating: “The launch objectives were completed in full,” but withheld further information. Last year, on the same date, there was speculation around a test involving a new model of Putin’s Topol series, currently referred to as Topol-ME. Inhabitants across the Astrakhan, Dagestan, and Volgograd regions reported seeing peculiar white streaks across the sky.

The test occurred on the evening of 12 April – a significant date in Russia known as Cosmonautics Day, which celebrates Yury Gagarin’s historic spaceflight in 1961, marking humanity’s first journey into space. The mysterious missile involved in the recent test is not thought to be the Sarmat, or Satan-2, which seems to be plagued by delays in its testing phase, reports the Mirror.

Putin’s nuclear arsenal is set to welcome its largest missile yet, an “unstoppable” 208-ton apocalypse weapon that can reach speeds of 15,880mph and resembles the size of a 14-storey building. Before it enters active duty, the colossal intercontinental silo-launched missile is slated for testing over the South Pole.

The Russian Telegram channel VChK-OGPU revealed last month: “The Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant is experiencing a serious shortage of electronic components….for production of strategic missiles.”The electronics of the new RS 28 [Sarmat] missile system are largely of foreign origin and, due to sanctions, [they] are experiencing a serious shortage. Now all efforts are being made to somehow correct the situation with the supply of sanctioned electronics.”
