A blast-off explosion and trail in the sky was has been reported sparking claims a Vladimir Putin Satan-2 hypersonic missile test went wrong.
A new test of Putin’s giant 208-tonne nuclear-capable apocalypse rocket had been suspected as likely this month - but an explosion and trail in the sky has been spotted in Plesetsk military cosmodrome in northern Russia.
Satan-2 missile, also known as Sarmat in Russia, is said to be behind schedule and Putin’s inner circle is believed to fear “sabotage” over a delayed test schedule.
