LONDON: Russia said on Saturday that it plans to deploy its newly tested Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), capable of mounting nuclear strikes against the United States, by the autumn of this year.
The target stated by Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Roscosmos space agency, is an ambitious one as Russia reported its first test-launch only on Wednesday and Western military experts say more will be needed before the missile can be deployed.
