A single Russian heavy Sarmat ICBM strike is capable of destroying territory the size of France.

The newest Russian heavy intercontinental ballistic missile "Sarmat", carrying 10 thermonuclear warheads, each in terms of power equal to the explosion of a hydrogen bomb, is capable of destroying territory commensurate with France. Unlike "classic" ICBMs, "Sarmat" has tremendous destructive power, which, according to the newspaper "Sokh", made Washington seriously tense up.

“The missile can carry 10 large nuclear warheads or 16 smaller warheads. These warheads are thermonuclear weapons, which means that they use nuclear fusion rather than the fission reaction used in an atomic bomb. Corresponding to hydrogen bombs, they are much more destructive than the nuclear bombs that the US dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima at the end of World War II. The missile weighs 100 tons, and each nuclear warhead it carries can be aimed at its own target. Each Sarmat missile is also 35,5 meters long and 3 meters in diameter. Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko described the super-rocket as a weapon that defies interception. "With such capabilities, no anti-missile defense system, even the most modern, can intercept it," said Krivoruchko.- сообщает Sokhu edition.

According to some reports, the total power of the thermonuclear warheads thrown by the Sarmat missile is about 7,5 mt, however, given the secrecy of this project, this figure can be much higher, and the probability of successful interception by anti-missiles in this case is extremely low, since the flight speed warheads to the target can reach 20 speeds of sound.
