Two test launches the latest liquid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Sarmat are planned to be completed by 2021 year-end, a source in the defense industry told TASS.
“Two launches of Sarmat ICBM are planned to be completed in 2021 from Plesetsk launch site as part of flight development tests; the first one in November,” the source said.
Flight development tests will continue in the next year, followed by state trials, so that the first regiment with missiles of this type can start the combat standby mission as part of Strategic Missile Forces by the end of the year, he added.
TASS has no official confirmation of this piece of information.
