Russia says its Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile system, also known as Satan II, has been deployed for combat. The White House said Friday it can't confirm the reports.
After Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Putin claimed Sarmat would"reliably ensure the security of Russia from external threats and make those who, in the heat of aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country, think twice," she said.
Koffler said that much of Russia's media, including RIA Novosti, Gazeta and Young Moscow Communist, has published an English article translated into Russian claiming that Sarmat could wipe out London in six minutes. "So the deterrence message appears to be directed at the UK in this case, which is of course a committed supporter of Ukraine,"Koffler noted."Again, Putin will not attack London or any NATO country, unless Russian intelligence concludes that Russia is about to be attacked by NATO."
She said the fear of"unintended escalation" is what keeps her and other national security professionals"up at night." "In other words, when a kinetic strike is authorized by mistake because of a flawed assessment by intelligence services and conflict spirals out of control," she explained."That is what wargaming conducted by the US intelligence community has revealed.
