A massive nuclear missile dubbed "Satan 2" could destroy the United Kingdom in seconds, a Russian state TV host has said.
The Satan 2, technically an RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, weighs 20 tons and has a range of 11,000 miles. It travels at hypersonic speeds of 16,000mph and can be armed with up to 15 nuclear warheads, the Express reports.
In a threatening remark, presenter Vladimir Solovyov declared that “one Sarmat means minus one Great Britain". Launching from silos in Russia, the missile could strike London in just 200 seconds. Paris would be hit in 210 seconds, while Finland and Sweden - which have recently applied to join NATO - would be eliminated in 15 seconds.
