Russia unveils 'Satan 2,' a nuclear missile that could 'wipe out Texas,' speed past U.S. defense systems

Russia unveiled a new intercontinental ballistic missile that can reportedly destroy a geographic area as large as Texas.

The debut of the RS-28 Sarmat, nicknamed "Satan 2," was first announced by Russian news network Zvezda. It will replace the R-36M Voevoda missile, the original "Satan."

"The Sarmat missile will not only become the R-36M's successor, but also to some extent it will determine in which direction nuclear deterrence in the world will develop," Zvezda reported.

According to Sputnik, an English-language news site with ties to the Russian government, the Sarmat missile will be faster than any missile-defense system in existence. It will have an estimated range of more than 6,000 miles.






Out of curiosity is that possible ? I mean state of Texas is huge state can 1 missile pack so much juice ?

Just to put it in prespective how big Texas is

I just can't put my mind to accept this missile exist , damage to take out a whole state as big as Texas , texas is like 2 provinces of Pakistan that big !!

Much bigger than 2 provinces actually. Texas is 695,662 km² while Pak is 796,095 km²

Just to put it in prespective how big Texas is

Think about it. The largest bomb in human recorded history is the Tsar bomba with 50MT of destructive capacity. It can give 3rd degree burns within 60 mile radius and level a 5000 square miles of area. This area is pretty big but by no means even equal to the area of Texas.

To put it into numbers -

Area of Texas - 268,597 sq miles.

No of Tsar bomba required to flatten texas - 268597/5000 = 53 tsar bombas.

you dont need to cover the whole area to destroy anything. If you are able to takeout all the metropolitan areas destroy most of the population, boom objective covered.

Texas is going away. Russia should choose some other state.

I mean the force and power required is perhaps unimaginable from my own mind such a blast would kick start global tsunamis if it was ever done over sea

5000 (TSAR) VS 268,597 (SATAN2 = Area of texas)

• More powerful shockwave
  
• More "Dirt spread in air" possible sun light blocking due to immense amount of soil going up in atmosphere
• The lateral shockwave (which travels now powerful enough to travel across a large large area)
• Would earth quakes would be triggered ? Regionally or internationally
• Or may be the vertical depth achieved , would expose volcanic hot lava

What ? Satan 2 can carry total payload of about 8.8 Metric tonnes which is not even close to the Tsar Bomba for which I did the calculations !

"Its large (between 4 and 10 ton) payload would allow for up to 10 heavy warheads or 15 lighter ones, and/or a combination of warheads and massive amounts of countermeasures designed to defeat anti-missile systems"

"Up to 15 MIRVs (various type and yield; At the maximum reported throw-weight of up 10,000kg, the missile could deliver a 50 Mt charge (the maximum theoretical yield-to-weight ratio is about 6 megatons of TNT per metric ton, and the maximum achieved ratio was apparently 5.2 megatons of TNT per metric ton in B/Mk-41)."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat

The more countermeasures carried, the less space/weight for actual warhead(s). I would think 10-15 warheads could cover the whole of Texas, but that would mean no countermeasures carried (and hence increased vulnerability to interception).
See http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...e-means-the-nuclear-arms-race-is-back-on.html

It is interesting that Russia would seek a fallback to 'old school' nuclear deterrance.

As compared to e.g. http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/05/24/boeing-unveils-electromagnetic-pulse-weapon.aspx or e.g. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/12/s...-weapons-smaller-leaves-some-uneasy.html?_r=0

Midcourse based defenses are vulnurable to maneuvring warheads and/or reduced rcs warheads which in my opinion can still be detected by long wavelength radars but not with enough accuracy to guide a sam especially from 100s of kms apart which midcourse defense stands for.

That leaves two options to go for if you care for a budget effective solution either you develop and proliferate maneuver or low rcs missiles or go for terminal defense.

For terminal defense at its fastest stage it is more difficult to hit than midcourse and generally nuclear warhead is used in sams like A 135 older variants and Sprint.

Other than that there is plasma based defence which is not a sci-fi tv series version but exploits a simple phenomennon which is the faster the object the more counter balancing effect occurs when it dives into a plasmoid inside atmosphere induced by em waves or laser.Here is an article describing the subject applied to smaller rockets.

https://www.wired.com/2007/05/plasma_shield_m/

High power radar is claimed to be effective to generate such area. It is better and faster to use large aesa radar transmitters that can rapidly create a plasmoids in upper atmosphere in my opinion. Laser can be used again for such purpose not to break a hole but to unbalance and throw the incoming fast object from close ranges in my opinion. Laser would work well against supersonic cruise missiles and em against upto intermediate range bms. Icbms warheads fly much faster and travels inside plasma because of such speed but countering it can also be researched experimented as well.
